Hello, I have the m810lmr (SiS) board and it needs about 12 seconds to exec init process with a Duron 950 MHz and 512MB ram.
Do you reach the 3 seconds with actual boards, or was it with the good old small 2.2.x kernel, some time ago ? Even the linuxbios startup is about 3 seconds (with serial console activated), than the kernel needs its time (IDE timeout (about 2 seconds), the rest is 6-7 seconds), and the init process needs only 1-2 seconds (with network, ssh, http, squid, ... ) . How can I speed up my booting time ? Is something wrong with my config (linuxbios, kernel) or hardware (CPU too slow ?) ? Can you give some general tips about optimizing the bootup time ?
