 this kind of system should booted in less than 30 sec

Do you happen to have a bootchart of your system where it doesn't wait 15s for 
your crypto password?

Hello all

I installed bootchart on a couple of PCs at home and uploaded the charts

Here are the results
Tyan.S2466.bootchart.png = Boot time 1:01
T60.t2400_bootchart.png = Boot time 1:13
T40.Pentium_M1500.bootchart.png = Boot time 1:30

The charts are available here:

For what it is worth I used

CDs 1-5 +
openSUSE-10.3-Alpha1-Addon-NonOSS-BiArch) which I installed using 
VMware.ex.p.build.39849
on openSUSE10.2. 

I then installed bootchart (same version that I installed on openSUSE 10.2) in
openSUSE-10.3-Alpha1 (VMware install)

openSUSE.10.3 boots 2:09 (remember this is VMware.e.x.p.build.39849)

I uploaded the charted (in case anyone is interested)

 Agreed. The way I try to eliminate long boot up times is to actually not 
 power 
 down my computer when I'm done. I have set it to go into stand-by after four 
 hours of inactivity, and that works quite well, even with a desktop pc.

Yes this is true, if one uses one OS.
When using several, one has to reboot into other OS's, unless one uses
an emulator as VMware, one boots inside another OS...
Still, these bootings take time...
Not waiting, but using your time economicly, during these fases, makes
them seem to take less time.
But i agree this is just a psychological illusion, and no realtime
shorter boottimebut it works all the same...

Ad: [opensuse-factory] improve boot time

2007-02-24 Thread Birger Kollstrand

This might be the time to look in to what Ubuntu has been doing? I
seems they are putting in a lot of effort in a new system called
upstart.
http://www.netsplit.com/blog/articles/2006/08/26/upstart-in-universe
http://www.netsplit.com/blog/articles/category/upstart

I'm definitely not an expert here, but from what I read it looks
interesting. The system is event based and seems to be flexible enough
to counter problems like where directories are.(local / remote)

Has the openSUSE team been thinking about changing the startup system
and working with Ubuntu on this?

I agree that the network should be up as early as possible, the time
that takes is allways nessesary, before or after boot screen

 Alright get it from:

 at the same compare it with this one:
 http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/bootchart-20041221.png
 

Thnx, that mail was sent accidentily, so i now compared the PII with the
AMD dual core and saw that it differs about a minute...

Using a configfile instead of hardware detection might result in a much
shorter boottime...(20-25 secs?)
Hardwaredetection is needed before installing an OS, an option to detect
'new' HW can be added, so comparing the configfile after the os has been
booted is not such a bad idea.

If one does not 'wait' until the system has been booted, it doesn't take
too long at all...

[opensuse-factory] improve boot time

2007-02-23 Thread Collin Marc
hi

suse boot time is very slow, about 54 sec on my dual core 4200+, 1 gig of ram. 
I removed a lot of services.

http://www.sharebigfile.com/file/91107/bootchart-png.html


this kind of system should booted in less than 30 sec

the optimisation could be change depending of the profile of the machine.

home machine
server


for a home user, the login screen should display very early in the boot process.
Network could start after this boot screen, same thing for cups.

Instead of use bash, dash could be used. 
It's take less memory and start program faster.

Instead of detecting at everyboot the harddware, suse could save the info and 
use it for everyboot.
A boot option could be added to detect new hardware.

Keep service very low should be done.

thanks

Compatibility with existing scripts? 

 Instead of detecting at everyboot the harddware, suse could save the info
 and use it for everyboot. A boot option could be added to detect new
 hardware.

It should be configurable. 
Not everyone wants fast boot. 
Some will prefer to have it as it is now, with more auto detection.

Give user option to have automatic recognition or fast boot, or something in 
between. List of detected hardware and actions associated with, though this 
is already discussed, to limit installed functionality only to what is 
supported with detected hardware. Classic example in past was PCMCIA.

The X Window system is one of candidates that deserve attention.  

 Keep service very low should be done.
