Yes, but our biggest single component of boot time this instant is jffs2 mount (which happens twice during the boot sequence), not covered in that work.
This is fixable in two ways; partially, by partitioning the flash (which would remove one mount), or even better, by using Ubifs, which may be ready for widespread use now. The rest of it is mostly stuff that we either don't do or can avoid doing, or have already prototyped (Mitch has had start up scripts in his back pocket that may also be part of the equasion). Deepak has begun work on Ubifs testing... - Jim On Fri, 2008-10-03 at 15:24 +0200, NoiseEHC wrote: > If you somehow missed it, there is possible to boot Linux in 5 seconds > on an EeePC. > http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=s7NxCM8ryF8 > > Here is the paper: > http://www.fenrus.org/plumbers_fastboot.ppt > > Could somebody explain me whether these results are applicable to the > XO, and how far are we from it, please? > -- Jim Gettys <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> One Laptop Per Child _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
