Speeding up Boot Times

linux-howto

https://bbs.archlinux.org – @karol just ordered a ocz vertex about 3 days ago so well see how that works out. @bwat47- Thanks this looks really interesting, I think I am going to give e4rat a go... The whole reason why I wanted to do this is so I could learn more about the system processes upon boot so I think this would be better.@ewaller- I have never looked into building a custom kernel for myself, I am reading up on it right now and will let you know how it goes.I actually timed my to test it to get a data table:Trial 1- 1m 48sTrial 2- 1m 33sTrial 3- 1m 21sWe will see how it effects this constantly over a minute time (HowTos)

I know nothing of gnome, but if you want a general perfomance boost you might be interested in e4rat.  It really works wonders on boot speed, and in my experience it is particularly effective at speeding up DEs/WMs start times.

I have Arch Linux (ARM). Will it boot faster on my SD card if I use E4rat to pre-load the boot process? Since it's flash based, will it have any difference in boot time? Has anyone tried it on a SD Card?

I'm having a bit of a conundrum with 12.04. I put it on a CD to install it on my new system and tossed it in. Checked out the trial bit and everything seemed to be ok, it looked great. So I do the actual install, restart, and... I get a purple screen.

If the trial works then why will it not boot properly? :???:

'Edit'- Forgot to say its the 64bit version I'm trying to use.

e4rat + systemd = No DM 38 weeks 1 day ago

I use e4rat with systemd and it works great.  Your not trying to use e4rat and systemd's readahead at the same time are you?  I don't use a DM, instead I boot to tty but have autologin and xinit is ran (conditionally) from bashrc.  Have you tried this sort of set up to narrow down whether it is actually a DM problem?

CD/DVD problems 3 years 35 weeks ago

hey guys i am using a dual boot HP pavillion dv6000. i am running windows XP and F11 as my two residing OS in the system.

intially when i have just installed F11 and its dual boot the CD/DVD drive work prefectly. I am able to see movies, wrtie DVD,s copy data from discs etc.

I have an UEFI Bios and a working bootable system. My boot time is about 45 seconds which seeems slow to me as I use an SSD for my OS. Is there a way of speeding up boot time?

New to crunchbang.. loving it 1 year 21 weeks ago

Hi,I wanted to honestly appreciate the crunchbang team for coming up with a wonderful OS. Before this i tried out ubuntu and linux mint, and for some reason my system was really slow, with poor boot up times and low battery performance. Crunchbang seems to be ideal for my hardware, its very fast and my system is running cool and smooth.

Hi,after reading this very interesting article (link here) about going past "full disk encryption" with unencrypted boot I started to think about a better solution.I know that grub2 can boot directly from live cd.
