Hi, (please cc me in replies, as I am not subscribed)
encouraged by Petter Reinholdtsens mail to debian-devel, I checked out readahead. I am using a fairly standard sid system, using a custom kernel image without initial ramdisk: - Adding 'profile' to the kernel command line would not initiate the readahead profiling process, as /proc/ does not seem to be mounted at the moment the readahead scripts are running. The error message "grep: /proc/cmdline: No such file or directory" was printed on the screen. To workaround this for once, I modified the init script to run the profiling process anyway, rebooted, and undid these changes. Is readahead supposed to only work with an initial ramdisk? - readahead improved the time needed for booting (from hitting 'enter' on the grub command line to gdm appearing) from about 58 sec to 53 sec. Cheers, Wolf -- My life needs an erase & rewind button.
