Hm, well then I guess there is nothing to be done about this delay? Is grub2 any faster than grub loading the initrd?

But that is systemVinit script based and booting with no initrd. The kernel I need to boot with is 5.4MB...in 12.1. It's really too bad that openSuse developers claim users have no interest in booting directly from the harddisk w/o initrd.... Unix vendors had the option to compile a kernel for direct boot about 20 years ago -- it took a while to regen the needed files, but you didn't do it every day...now days, a kernel gen takes a few minutes. AFter initial boot, about 15 seconds later I have login via console or net. Of that 15, about 7-8 seconds is cifs timing out because my workstations no longer mount after the switch to smb2 -- which I still haven't figured out... so the game a whack-a-mole continues... It really doesn't have to be all one way... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
