Sidenote, something is really wrong with your hardware or configuration if it takes 5 seconds to get to userspace on a modern system these days. Everything[1] I run is in the sub-second boot time before userspace is hit, and everything boots to full graphics mode in less than 5 seconds. The long-pole is by far, the bios/uefi these days. I think you need new hardware, or a better kernel .config file :) > I'll toss this in the bin for now though and send something based on > Tejun's approach shortly! That would be great, thanks for doing this. greg k-h [1] A wide range of laptops and server/build boxes, some 3+ years old, this isn't just new hardware by any means. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
