Wrong file. >From /etc/rc.sysinit: # Print a banner. ;) echo -en $"\t\tWelcome to " if grep -q "Red Hat" /etc/redhat-release ; then [ "$BOOTUP" = "color" ] && echo -en $"\\033[1;31m" echo -en "Red Hat" [ "$BOOTUP" = "color" ] && echo -en $"\\033[0;39m" PRODUCT=`sed "s/Red Hat \(.*\) release.*/\1/" /etc/redhat-release` echo " $PRODUCT" else PRODUCT=`sed "s/ release.*//g" /etc/redhat-release` echo "$PRODUCT" fi There are three sleep calls (total 7 seconds) in /etc/rc.sysinit There are a bunch of initlog calls in /etc/init.d/functions Also, redhat starts a pretty large number of processes by default, which increases the bootup time (a default of kudzu at startup is /bad/). If the administrator bothers to set boot time sequences and programs correctly, then the boot time is reduced considerably. FWIW, the bulk of my boot time is taken by PostgreSQL and Postfix amongst individual processes with a total time of about 40 seconds from the boot prompt.
