- the 90s delay during VGA init.
- anything else?
copying LB to RAM seems to be very slow ?!
takes about 3 - 4 seconds for the 256k image
after boot, uncompressing the kernel is much slower as under factory bios.
How many megabytes in how many seconds? is it compressed?
Its done in 8 - 9 seconds. kernel is 700k big.
Well, it is a bzImage and should be compressed.
The filesystem is for any reason readonly after a boot?!
Not under factory.
readonly root filesystem is the default. Maybe the boot parameters of
your "other" boot loader contain "rw" ?
Waaaah, yeah I have forgotten to insert "rw" parameter for the
commandline in filo.
Thanks for the hint.
