IIRC i saw a difference in load time last time i had that problem too, and about the only difference then was the Generation versions: christophnet:~/ext4 # rpm -qa|grep grub grub-0.97-176.1.i586 christophnet:~/ext4 # rpm -qa|grep mkinit mkinitrd-2.7.0-8.1.i586 copied initrd that really loads faster: Inode: 82131 Type: regular Mode: 0644 Flags: 0x80000 Generation: 963180916 Version: 0x00000000:00000001 User: 0 Group: 0 Size: 10821102 File ACL: 0 Directory ACL: 0 Links: 1 Blockcount: 21136 Fragment: Address: 0 Number: 0 Size: 0 ctime: 0x4defa133:1d05edfc -- Wed Jun 8 18:20:03 2011 atime: 0x4defa063:853bb258 -- Wed Jun 8 18:16:35 2011 mtime: 0x4defa063:bb5b0cf8 -- Wed Jun 8 18:16:35 2011 crtime: 0x4defa063:853bb258 -- Wed Jun 8 18:16:35 2011 Size of extra inode fields: 28 EXTENTS: (0-1870):1882289-1884159, (1871-2641):1892352-1893122 Level Entries Logical Physical Length Flags 0/ 0 1/ 2 0 - 1870 1882289 - 1884159 1871 0/ 0 2/ 2 1871 - 2641 1892352 - 1893122 771 ----------------------------------------------------------- extents of the original initrd: Level Entries Logical Physical Length Flags 0/ 1 1/ 1 0 - 2641 1969916 2642 1/ 1 1/ 46 0 - 26 1983232 - 1983258 27 1/ 1 2/ 46 27 - 46 1983714 - 1983733 20 1/ 1 3/ 46 47 - 52 1982234 - 1982239 6 1/ 1 4/ 46 53 - 58 1982795 - 1982800 6 1/ 1 5/ 46 59 - 77 1983832 - 1983850 19 1/ 1 6/ 46 78 - 95 1983860 - 1983877 18 1/ 1 7/ 46 96 - 418 1983879 - 1984201 323 1/ 1 8/ 46 419 - 425 1984468 - 1984474 7 1/ 1 9/ 46 426 - 445 1984512 - 1984531 20 1/ 1 10/ 46 446 - 450 1977335 - 1977339 5 1/ 1 11/ 46 451 - 466 1984536 - 1984551 16 1/ 1 12/ 46 467 - 542 1984553 - 1984628 76 1/ 1 13/ 46 543 - 696 1984630 - 1984783 154 1/ 1 14/ 46 697 - 701 1978880 - 1978884 5 1/ 1 15/ 46 702 - 945 1984810 - 1985053 244 1/ 1 16/ 46 946 - 1099 1985057 - 1985210 154 1/ 1 17/ 46 1100 - 1105 1985212 - 1985217 6 1/ 1 18/ 46 1106 - 1190 1985231 - 1985315 85 1/ 1 19/ 46 1191 - 1264 1985331 - 1985404 74 1/ 1 20/ 46 1265 - 1372 1985407 - 1985514 108 1/ 1 21/ 46 1373 - 1564 1985516 - 1985707 192 1/ 1 22/ 46 1565 - 1585 1985717 - 1985737 21 1/ 1 23/ 46 1586 - 1634 1985742 - 1985790 49 1/ 1 24/ 46 1635 - 1658 1985858 - 1985881 24 1/ 1 25/ 46 1659 - 1664 1985883 - 1985888 6 1/ 1 26/ 46 1665 - 1736 1985892 - 1985963 72 1/ 1 27/ 46 1737 - 2346 1985968 - 1986577 610 1/ 1 28/ 46 2347 - 2371 1986584 - 1986608 25 1/ 1 29/ 46 2372 - 2376 1981488 - 1981492 5 1/ 1 30/ 46 2377 - 2381 1982297 - 1982301 5 1/ 1 31/ 46 2382 - 2386 1982322 - 1982326 5 1/ 1 32/ 46 2387 - 2391 1983395 - 1983399 5 1/ 1 33/ 46 2392 - 2397 1986630 - 1986635 6 1/ 1 34/ 46 2398 - 2402 1984802 - 1984806 5 1/ 1 35/ 46 2403 - 2407 1986610 - 1986614 5 1/ 1 36/ 46 2408 - 2464 1986674 - 1986730 57 1/ 1 37/ 46 2465 - 2510 1986732 - 1986777 46 1/ 1 38/ 46 2511 - 2521 1986791 - 1986801 11 1/ 1 39/ 46 2522 - 2530 1986805 - 1986813 9 1/ 1 40/ 46 2531 - 2538 1986824 - 1986831 8 1/ 1 41/ 46 2539 - 2543 1986836 - 1986840 5 1/ 1 42/ 46 2544 - 2568 1986856 - 1986880 25 1/ 1 43/ 46 2569 - 2573 1986882 - 1986886 5 1/ 1 44/ 46 2574 - 2588 1986911 - 1986925 15 1/ 1 45/ 46 2589 - 2637 1986959 - 1987007 49 1/ 1 46/ 46 2638 - 2641 1973536 - 1973539 4 -- 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.

What you are seeing is probably some grub problem, but I guess it's unfixable with grub 0.97. -- 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.

You can hardly compare the disk access speed when booting (going through BIOS) and when kernel is already loaded (going through proper driver). -- 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.
