1, some progress - if gdm is enabled, even '$' over ttyO2 comes very late when login from serial tty, see detailed analysis in next part. - if gdm is disabled, '$' over ttyO2 comes very quickly if login from serial tty. - so gdm is involved in the slow boot issue
2, strace log With help from jk, strace is used to trace getty and find stat64 and read(3) consumes much time, stat64: 24.9sec, read(3): 27.12sec, see below in getty.trace: - stat64 1806 12:35:34.668235 stat64("/usr/bin/awk", <unfinished ...> ...... 1806 12:35:59.595877 <... stat64 resumed> {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=73912, ...}) = 0 <24.927520> - read 1803 12:35:34.663474 read(3, <unfinished ...> ...... 1803 12:36:01.792106 <... read resumed> "/dev/mmcblk0p2\n", 128) = 15 <27.128540> ** Attachment added: "gettty.tar.gz" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-ti-omap4/+bug/784421/+attachment/2144441/+files/gettty.tar.gz -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/784421 Title: natty slow boot on pandaboard(rev A1) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
