[opensuse-factory] improve boot time
hi suse boot time is very slow, about 54 sec on my dual core 4200+, 1 gig of ram. I removed a lot of services. http://www.sharebigfile.com/file/91107/bootchart-png.html this kind of system should booted in less than 30 sec the optimisation could be change depending of the profile of the machine. home machine server .... for a home user, the login screen should display very early in the boot process. Network could start after this boot screen, same thing for cups. Instead of use bash, dash could be used. It's take less memory and start program faster. Instead of detecting at everyboot the harddware, suse could save the info and use it for everyboot. A boot option could be added to detect new hardware. Keep service very low should be done. thanks ____________________________________________________________________________________ Need a quick answer? Get one in minutes from people who know.

for a home user, the login screen should display very early in the boot process. Network could start after this boot screen, same thing for cups.

Compatibility with existing scripts?
Instead of detecting at everyboot the harddware, suse could save the info and use it for everyboot. A boot option could be added to detect new hardware.
It should be configurable. Not everyone wants fast boot. Some will prefer to have it as it is now, with more auto detection. Give user option to have automatic recognition or fast boot, or something in between. List of detected hardware and actions associated with, though this is already discussed, to limit installed functionality only to what is supported with detected hardware. Classic example in past was PCMCIA. The X Window system is one of candidates that deserve attention.
Keep service very low should be done.
thanks

Thnx, that mail was sent accidentily, so i now compared the PII with the AMD dual core and saw that it differs about a minute... Using a configfile instead of hardware detection might result in a much shorter boottime...(20-25 secs?) Hardwaredetection is needed before installing an OS, an option to detect 'new' HW can be added, so comparing the configfile after the os has been booted is not such a bad idea. If one does not 'wait' until the system has been booted, it doesn't take too long at all...

That's been standard KDE for yonks. When you restart, select the next boot section.

??????? I know you sound simple, but i am too stupid to understand what you mean here... Yes I use KDE, and if choosen lilo or grub in the bootmanagers box, (instead of none) will reappear this ability.(if suddenly dissappeared from the menu....)

Agreed. The way I try to eliminate long boot up times is to actually not power down my computer when I'm done. I have set it to go into stand-by after four hours of inactivity, and that works quite well, even with a desktop pc. -- Gruß Andreas --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

Yes this is true, if one uses one OS. When using several, one has to reboot into other OS's, unless one uses an emulator as VMware, one boots inside another OS... Still, these bootings take time... Not waiting, but using your time economicly, during these fases, makes them seem to take less time. But i agree this is just a psychological illusion, and no realtime shorter boottime....but it works all the same... - -- Have a nice day, M9. Now, is the only time that exists.

I agree that the network should be up as early as possible, the time that takes is allways nessesary, before or after boot screen.... - -- Have a nice day, M9. Now, is the only time that exists.

For what it is worth I used makeSUSEdvd-0.35-1.noarch.rpm to build a openSUSE-10.3-Alpha1 DVD (composed of CDs 1-5 + openSUSE-10.3-Alpha1-Addon-NonOSS-BiArch) which I installed using VMware.ex.p.build.39849 on openSUSE10.2.

Do you happen to have a bootchart of your system where it doesn't wait 15s for your crypto password?
