i notice that every time it startup, the dependency of services are scaned and checked, which take about 2~3 seconds. i wonder is this a step that can be cut off?This is done in /etc/init.d/depscan.sh. You could try to disable this, but you should rather have
a bootdisk (or CD) ready, I have no idea what will happen.
also, is /etc/init.d/modules neccesary?This loads the modules in /etc/modules.autoload.d. If you have no modules that need to be loaded
this way, you could turn this off. You could also invoke modprobe manually from a boot script,
this should be a little faster.
