I see on the WIKI people have posted boot times, as low as 15 seconds.
Yes, no Problem.
My boot time is terrible - haven't timed it, but would imagine it has to be 180 seconds plus.
I am still running udev (FC3), which seems to take a large amount of time. I'm sure I could probably strip out some of the other processes (like the NTP sync - why is that run at start up!! Surely it should happen in parallel, not sequentially)
Has anyone done a strip-down checklist of the things that must and must not be started? Any tuning recommendations?
Still the best recommendation is to use a dedicated machine for vdr and to build/compile the whole stuff on a second machine. Then you don't need all the overhead.
My vdr-system has the whole vdr/glibc/bin/modules-things in a initrd ram disc which is loaded by the bios together with the kernel. Boot time (after bios-checks) is < 10 seconds to see a picture and about 20 seconds until the system is ready to replay/record on a Duron 1300 board.
20 seconds? Great :) Which plugins are included in your initrd ramdisk? I have tried ist, but with all needed libraries for the several plugins it does not fit into the ramdisk. It doesn't boot if i reached 32 MB uncompressed ...
