Not long time ago, I posted to project mail list question is it possible to boot in a 5 seconds, like described in: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=869&num=1
and here is the article that explains what to do. http://lwn.net/Articles/299483/
It is not cookbook, but gives ideas.
If you're looking to boot really really fast, LinuxBIOS is also something to look into. http://www.coreboot.org/
"3 seconds to Linux console".

I've followed the coreboot (linuxbios as-was) development since the early and it is limited to the number of motherboards and chipsets.
I've also followed it on and off - the current list of supported boards is actually quite long: http://www.coreboot.org/Supported_Motherboards
When I was brave enough some months ago to ask v2 to do a bios operation (either read or dump) on my unsupported motherboard, it obviously threw up an error message, so doesn't warrant serious consideration at present. Regards Sid.
It depends on your objectives, methinks. If boot up speed is paramount, you _have_ to look at coreboot, IMHO. /Per Jessen, Zürich -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
