Hi List,This morning I ran across a thread on this list from Oct'11 about slow booting with large initrd images. Reading through that thread, I didn't really see any sort of definitive resolution to the problem.
There's been several mentions of alternative ways - like, booting from an .iso cdrom image instead of using -kernel/-initrd - that one works fast. Creating an .iso out of kernel+initrd is trivial. /mjt
