Hi Dylan, just wondering how much help you expect when your biggest complaint is 5 seconds? B-)
I should have such problems!
Hi John, I'm not really concerned about the time, to be honest - as you imply, it's no great shakes. On the other hand, it seems to take a proportionately long time on the machine in question (and longer than on other machines which I'd expect to be slower,) which prompts my interest in knowing what goes on during the (somewhat opaque) "loading initial ramdisk..." message. This would, of course, increase my understanding of the system in general... Dx

How do I go about finding out what's going on with the initrd?
On one of my machines (an 8-core unit with SSD root drive) there is a 5
second wait while loading initrd, and the rest of the boot process takes a further 5 seconds...
On the other desktop (dual-core, standard HDs) and an old (3years+) netbook (celeron with old SSD) the initrd is loaded within a second.
I'm working on the hypothesis that the main machine's initrd is doing or loading a lot more than on the other two machines, but how do I find out.
In fact, since there is no separate /boot partition, I'm wondering if I
even need the initrd? If not, how do I disable it?
Cheers Dylan
