Thanks for the response. That makes sense. Short of hacking the kernel to do what I want, I just have to stick with this and find other ways of improving the boot up time. If I use a non-compressed image (ramdisk instead of ramdisk.gz), will it buy me much time? By that I mean copy time < uncompressing time?
A) I've seen some reports of cases where copy time > decompression time, but I doubt that could be generalized. B) General observation -- This is a generic Linux question, in no way Da- Vinci-specific. I'm not saying it's off-topic, nor am I complaining about it being here. My point is that literally 99.9% of the people with an- swers to such questions are not here. So, asking such questions here is IMO a relatively poor way of getting them answered. But it's your choice :-) C) On the other hand, if you'd done a web search you would have much bet- ter information by now. I.e. RTM / UG. D) All that being said, the Linux boot-up time references I have are: <http://tree.celinuxforum.org/CelfPubWiki/BootupTimeResources> <http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-boot-faster/> <http://www.linuxsymposium.org/proceedings/reprints/Reprint-Bird-OLS2004.pdf> Tom _______________________________________________ Davinci-linux-open-source mailing list Davinci-linux-open-source@linux.davincidsp.com http://linux.davincidsp.com/mailman/listinfo/davinci-linux-open-source
