I found it. Disk On Module :-) Very interesting. Flash based IDE drives sounds good. Can you recommend some products ? >> >>I measured the needed times in seconds: >>- power on 0s (starting point) >>- linuxbios 4s (until kernel loaded) >>- kernel 8s (until first message from init >> process) >>- init process 2s (can be optimized to < 1s) >>- login prompt >> o> I have committed the K7 MSR stuff such that can boost performance a lot. o> You should cvs update o> your source tree and try again. I assume you are using 810lmr. yes m810lmr is right. I will try it this weekend. Stefan
