Please clarify what you mean. Do new dots continue to get printed? Or does it just stand still after a certain amount of dots?

-Dots continue to get printed for 5 minutes

Could you try to boot your remastered core.gz from a different boot medium?

-I'm not clear what you mean by "boot remastered core.gz from a different boot medium".
Tried to install remastered TinyCore.iso to DVD, but DVD was not mountable.

However, belatedly I just realized that the remastered usb drives boot fine on a newer computer.
When I download and install TinyCore to a usb, tc boots fine from my old HP Pavilion.
But remastering TinyCore to another usb causes a 5 minute boot delay ( but only on old HP, not a newer machine).

Apparently, the old HP does not recognize something in the remaster.
There is no way TinyCore can support all hardware, especially hardware obsolete by modern standards.
If you have think solving this issue is important for others, I'm happy to work with you to figure it out.
Otherwise, I'm more than satisfied with the way TinyCore performs.

Thanks for your help, Rich and TinyPoodle,
Bob

That is not tinycore taking 5 minutes.
That is the boot loader loading the initrd.
It sounds like it is loading using USB 1 mode.

That sounds reasonable.
The HP usb ports are USB 2.0.
Why TinyCore is booted using USB 2 mode, while the remaster is booted using
USB 1 is not clear to me.

I apologize for taking up forum time and space for an issue related to HP hardware instead of
TinyCore OS.

Thanks,
Bob

Any boot medium other than pendrive, i.e. cd, hdd, netboot

You need to burn .iso as image to cd
