Hello Tim, I tested your kernel in http://people.ubuntu.com/~rtg/2.6.28-4.6-build- in-ata, and indeed with it I can boot without an initramfs, which cuts down my boot speed (grub press 'b' to gdm login appearing) from 61 to 43 seconds.
Caveats: - specifying root device with root=UUID=DEADBEEF does not work. I remember Scott saying that the kernel itself would be able to handle UUIDs for ext3, but apparently it doesn't? Going back from UUIDs to hardcoded device names would be quite a regression if we'd do it by default. - usplash does not start (no big deal, that can be fixed easily with an init script, I can do that) -- Please build ata_piix into kernel (not as module) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/311730 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
