 Posted: Sat Mar 07, 2015 6:30 pm Post subject: Shorten reboot duration... [SOLVED] |
 |
|
Hi,
My laptop starts by the following steps:
Cold Boot -> Bios HD PWD -> BOOT MANAGER |BOOTIT BARE METAL]->GRUB2 ->Linux Kernel.
I"d find it awsome to be able to reboot in a way that avoids some of the above mentionned early steps.
Is possible?
Thks 4 ur attention.

CaptainBlood,
kexec?
That allows the kernel te start another kernel ... its like a reboot.
I only know that it exists.

Grub is also a boot manager, is there a reason why you're using two boot managers and chainloading them?

Hi,
@NeddySeagoon
Yes, kexec ... I think this is it, will investigate how to ...
Thks 4 recalling me...
@eccerr0r
Indeed, but bootit bare metal is more than a boot manager.
It''s also a partition manager,
it allows more than 4 primary partitions,
it allows partition backup,
it allows to manage external disk units,
all that in GUI environment.
It sizes no more than 2.1 Mb.
Thks 4 ur attention, interest & support. |
