Description Perret Florian 2005-08-12 09:52:46 UTC

My laptop (Pentium M 1.6, 1 GO RAM) has a boot time of 1.35 min with 9.3 like
with 10b1.
Otherwise, Mandriva took 0.45min and Fedora 0.30min on the same computer.

Perhaps it should be interresting to search to reduce the speed of boot time and
suhtdown time.

I seriously doubt fedora boots in 30s when SUSE needs 95s - and I seriously 
doubt 10b1 boots in the same time as SL 9.3. But install bootchart (it should 
be on the b1 media) and change grub's menu.lst to say init=/sbin/bootchartd 
and then send in the two graphics generated in /var/log/bootchart.png

Bootchart.tgz

bootchart.png is empty ! So this is the .tgz if it can help, Personally I don't
know how to read it.
It comes from the 9.3, the 10 isn't install on my computer anymore. I'm waiting
the next beta...

Looks pretty normal, cupsd takes some time and the usual hardware detection:
74s after root is mounted to RO. Still I doubt, fedora can boot in 44s into
KDE. Would love to see your data there

Some discussion about all of this are here :

This way is also use in Suse ?

you're free to contribute, but for my side, leaving the bug open doesn't 
improve things.

Here is the mandriva bootchart in 44s :

With Suse 10 beta 3, I boot in 1 minute. It's a great progress but some
optimisation seems to still exist (cf bootchart).
I can't see where's the improvement of time...
