[Bug 216218] New: Boot time too slow
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=216218 Summary: Boot time too slow Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Beta 1 Platform: i686 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: felix.rommel@web.de QAContact: qa@suse.de openSUSE 10.2 boot time is much too slow here on my Acer Aspire 1353LC. SUSE LINUX 10 booted in about: 70 sec openSUSE 10.2 needs over 140 sec to boot! Boot time here is doubled. For laptop use this is way too slow! I cannot just have a short look in some documents if it takes ages to boot my Notebook. Although the desktop environments in openSUSE 10.2 are very responsive, the long boot time makes it impossible to use it on my Notebook. Please speed up the boot time so that it gets as fast as SUSE LINUX 10 again. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Without that booting is a little bit faster - maybe 3 sec. But it did take over 2 minutes, although I disabled as much init scripts as possible. In (K)Ubuntu Edgy my system boots about 30 sec faster with web server, MySQL etc. enabled. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Have you compared the time until the kernel hands over to user-space (roughly until line 'Kernel logging (ksyslog) stopped.' appears) and compared that to 10.0? Which part of the boot appears to have slowed down? The logs don't have timestamps, so it is impossible to tell right now. Thanks for your help! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=216218 ------- Comment #6 from felix.rommel@web.de 2006-11-06 15:24 MST ------- The boottime was very slow in 10.1, too. Don't know what exactly slowed down the boot time that much compared to 10.0. With 10.2 it takes very long until GDM starts - over 1 min. In that time 10.0 nearly booted the whole desktop. And with 10.2 it takes a very long time until Gnome desktop completely appeares. Don't have all exact times from 10.0 because I don't have it installed any more - but I remember that it booted in around 70 sec the whole system with desktop. I will try Beta2 when it comes out and if I have time will install the bootchart program. Then I can attach the generated bootchart graphic. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

I did not install AppArmor which should speed the boot process a little bit. I'm no expert in bootchart graphics but it takes 65 sec to boot till KDM is loaded. And it nearly takes another minute until KDE is completely startet. Maybe Beagle and the very slow ZMD stuff are responsible for the slow boot of 10.2. What makes me wonder is that the installer installed ZMD although I deactivated this pattern. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

This is a safe thing to do, assuming you have the opensuse package management pattern installed as well, so this won't leave you without a package manager. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Boot time is much better now - comparable with the fast boot time in (K)Ubuntu Edgy - have to compare them on my new machine. @Will: my Aspire boot time was also slow without ZMD stuff. @Stephan: my Aspire was not the best anymore but that does not explain why (K)Ubuntu Edgy bootet much faster on it with comparable settings.

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=216218 ------- Comment #14 from postadal@novell.com 2007-01-16 07:22 MST ------- I have same problem with Asus M6V (centrino cpu). The boot time I have 3minutes, I think I have problem with checking DMA of the disk, because when I disable DMA by append ide=nodma on cmdline in grub I speedup the booting to 2minutes (after booting I have DMA switch ON because it is enabled by /etc/sysconfig/ide (DEVICES_FORCE_IDE_DMA="/dev/hda:on /dev/hdb:on"). Another problem I had with suspend-to-disk (which works without problem until SL10.2). When I switched off DMA in "booting time", the suspend again work well, but it is too slow (becasue suspend used DMA setting from kernel cmdline and ignores /etc/sysconfig/ide settings). The new vanilla kernel doesn't solve my problem. I can't confirm workaround from comment #13, because my 1.5year old battery is dead ;(. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
