Title: Efficient Kernel for my TinyCore
Post by: hosm on June 10, 2010, 05:13:03 PM

Hi all,

My TC boots in 4.1 sec on machine#1 and 10sec on machine#2 but both machines use the same cpu, hdd and different motherboards. The M/B of machine#2 is better having higher FSB and better RAM clock. Machine#2 has almost 12 USB and 6 SATA ports with two G.Ethernets.

I noticed that kernel takes about 6secs on machine#2. I guess it is due to detecting the more hardware on machine#2.
Now my question is that how can I recompile the kernel such that it does not search for devices and use just a predefined set of devices to boot the kernel in 1sec?

Thanks,

Please post the dmesg (of machine 2), so we can see why it's waiting.
