Quote from the FAQ What is LinuxBIOS? LinuxBIOS aims to replace the normal BIOS found on PCs, Alphas, and other machines with a Linux kernel that can boot Linux from a cold start. LinuxBIOS is primarily Linux - about 10 lines of patches to the current Linux kernel. Additionally, the startup code - about 500 lines of assembly and 5000 lines of C - executes 16 instructions to get into 32-bit mode and then performs DRAM and other hardware initialization required before Linux can take over. Our primary motivation for the project was maintenance of large clusters, but not surprisingly interest and contributions have come from people with varying backgrounds. ---Gareth Walters http://www.microforte/.com.au http://www.bigworldgames.com ----- Original Message ----- From: "well" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Monday, July 22, 2002 4:59 PM Subject: [SLUG] how to reduce kernel booting time? > Hi SLUG > > I heard from magazine that some embedded linux spend a very short time to > boot system, > even 3 seconds. > > Do you have any idea how to make it possible? > Is to Hack kernel to make it do nothing when booting?? > or something else?? > > any responds is helpful. > > W.B > > -- > SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ > More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
