Sorry for the bump up, but could someone please help me regarding the large boot-up time in X86_FS mode ? The place where it seems to get stuck for a long time is:
ACPI: Core revision 20070126 ACPI Exception (tbxface-0618): AE_NO_ACPI_TABLES, While loading namespace from ACPI tables [20070126] ACPI: Unable to load the System Description Tables .. followed by another long wait time after this line: Using local APIC timer interrupts. Any thoughts ? Regards, Ankita On Sun, Jan 8, 2012 at 3:02 PM, Ankita (Garg) Goel <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi, > > Anyone has any thoughts on the time taken to boot X86_FS with detailed > mode ?
