Long Boot Times after Remaster

<< < (2/5) > >>

Hi newtotinycore
You could try using the  syslog  boot code. Then take a look through  /var/log/messages  which gives timing
information and see what's holding up the works.

Hi Rich,
Added 'syslog' to end of APPEND line of code in extlinux.conf.
After reboot /var/log/messages shows about 500 lines of code (mostly occurring in first second),
however, total time period covered is only 5 seconds. (Problem is during prior 5 minutes).
Is this the 5 seconds from waitusb=5?

I could increase waitusb to 300, but it seems like that would just add another 5 minutes to boot time and
still not start logging until the 'problem' was finished.

Thanks,
Bob

For more debugging you could use following boot params:

--- Code: ---debug printk.time=y earlyprintk=vga,keep syslog
--- End code ---

EDIT: Oh, and remove the "quiet", that doesn't help...

newtotinycore:
Followed your advice, TinyPoodle.
The /var/log/messages still only cover 5 seconds, most message are in the first second, a few in the second second.

But right after the copy-write screen,"Loading/tce/boot/vmlinuz....." comes up and is quickly followed by
"Loading/tce/boot/core.gz.............................................." which continues for five minutes.

Looks like there is some difficulty loading core.gz.
I tried erasing another usb drive several times before installing the remastered tc 4.7.4.
Again, the new usb hangs for five minutes after the copy-write screen (versus 30 seconds for the usb that generated the remaster).

Anybody else having this difficulty?
Thanks,
Bob

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

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