Hi all
Sorry for not responding so long, got sick and had much stress at work...
I just wanted to let you know i managed to remaster pureCore64 and make it boot in 4 seconds to text console in vmware. With the whole Vmware startup it takes about 6-7 seconds to be useable.
I managed to use UEFI boot to cut down on like 4 second boot time time traditional vmware bios. I used this thread here:
http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=22410.15This worked like a charm. With syslinux.
Also i remasterd the ssh keys into the image so ssh will start a bit faster i hope.
i use there bootparamters:
APPEND tce=sda1/tce blacklist=pcspkr noswap embed noapm hdb=noprobe hdc=noprobe hdd=noprobe noisapnp nofirewire nopcmcia no_debug_objects i8042.noaux logo.nologo nohibernate sdb=noprobe sdc=noprobe sdd=noprobe floppy=0 noisapnp nofirewire nopcmcia cdrom=0 tce=UUID="5B61-DAC0" quiet
However i would like to cut down the boot time even further:
- Is it possible to deactivate the extension loading ? Like this takes nearly a second at boot time. As all extensions are remasterd in the base image is it possible to skip the search for exensions ?
- After tty appears it takes roughly another 2 seconds for ssh to be functional. Is it possible to load it earlier in the boot process ? where would i need to put it ?
- Also the detection of hard disks takes like 1 second but there is only sda1 to detect so.... Can we deativate HardDrive detection completely and only detect USB-Devices ?
- Is the tce= boot parmater corretly set ?
You can try it out here if you want:
