Folks, I'm running systemimager 4.0.2 on an x86 (32bit) platform. I have rolled my own kernel (we have several devices that require specific modules - and I want to query them during the imaging sequence), and it's 2.6.28 non-smp. These systems are all PXE booting/netboot and using rsync to obtain images.
I see a couple significant (1 minute or so) delays during boot - and I wanted to see if someone could help identify the causes (or point me in the right direction to troubleshoot the causes!). First Delay: - during boot immediately after: "isapnp" loads. Take a look at the boot time output below: 12.479168] io scheduler deadline registered (default) [ 17.990982] pci 0000:00:0a.1: EHCI: BIOS handoff failed (BIOS bug?) 01010001 [ 17.992159] isapnp: ISA Plug & Play support disabled [ 124.160006] Serial: 8250/16550 driver2 ports, IRQ sharing enabled [ 124.329010] serial8250: ttyS0 at I/O 0x3f8 (irq = 4) is a 16550A [ 124.563013] serial8250: ttyS1 at I/O 0x2f8 (irq = 3) is a 16550A My first inclination is that it's actually the serial probe that's taking forever. I do not see this delay with my own kernel and my own image - just with systemimager booting. Erik M.
