With some problems man and google helped me, but unfortunately there still is an error I don't know to solve. Can you please have a look and give me a hint where I went wrong and how to proceed (I think with debian/rules binary or dpkg-buildpackage)? I think the latest version in experimental (1.96+20080831-1) already includes this change, you can use that one. -- Robert Millan The DRM opt-in fallacy: Your data belongs to us.

Hello, Bean from upstream made a buffered file read patch for the graphic modules (png,tga,jpeg) [0] Without it the pictures are read one byte at a time. It has been commited upstream on 1st August, so it'll be only on our next trunk upload and not in lenny. Would be nice if you could try it out, if that solves your problem. You can get upstream SVN [1] and then our Debian SVN trunk [2] to compile a freshly new grub2 package.

It now works fine and fast (less than 3 sec.) and its time for me to say grub legacy goodbye.

Disabling the background image makes the menu appear only *a little bit* faster.

The Grub menu shows up fast as lightning on my (real hardware) PC. I only encounter the delays in VirtualBox. Maybe this has to do with shortness of the emulated BIOS? -- Dipl.-Phys.

Package: grub-pc Version: 1.96+20080704-1 (and before) Severity: important After fixing #477083 there still is a boot-delay loading grub2 (compared to grub-legacy). Using real hardware (no qemu or so): AMD Duron 1200 (K7) My grub2 boot-timing is the following: (with some echo-calls as Robert Millan suggested) 0 - 2 sec.: Welcome to GRUB!, some flickering (loading gfxterm, vbe) the first three echo-calls flickers but are not readable (gone extreme fast) 2 - 5 or 6 sec: displaying the two lines: Before insmod png _and_ After insmod png (appear together) 6 - ... sec: the last three echo-calls flickers but are not readable (gone extreme fast) displaying graphical menu I think the middle-part (2 - 6 sec) is too long and needs improvement. See my grub.cfg for the placement of the echo-calls: ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ### set default=2 set timeout=5 set root=(hd0,9) search --fs-uuid --set a7abc87e-7b9d-4585-b292-fdd1fc33f1b4 if font /usr/share/grub/ascii.pff ; then set gfxmode=640x480 echo Before insmod gfxterm insmod gfxterm echo After insmod gfxterm, before insmod vbe insmod vbe echo After insmod vbe terminal gfxterm fi ### END /etc/grub.d/00_header ### ### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### set root=(hd0,9) search --fs-uuid --set a7abc87e-7b9d-4585-b292-fdd1fc33f1b4 echo Before insmod png insmod png echo After insmod png if background_image /boot/grub/debian-blueish-wallpaper-640x480.png ; then echo bgimage set color_normal=black/black set color_highlight=magenta/black else echo no bgimage set menu_color_normal=cyan/blue set menu_color_highlight=white/blue fi ### END /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ### echo Now OS-list: Christian Meyer _ WEB.DE schenkt Ihnen jeden Monat einen hochkarätigen Blockbuster von maxdome!
