 Posted: Sat Jun 10, 2006 3:16 am Post subject: Need speed tweaks for bootup processes |
 |
|
Hi all,
I need to get my gentoo distro to boot to a usable single-mode prompt as fast as totally possible. My single runlevel only starts up net.*, local, and sysklogd.
Is there some other kernel/init tweaks to make it boot faster? Thanks.

Use initng:
| Code: | emerge layman
layman -a -f initng
echo 'sys-apps/initng-ifiles ~x86' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
echo 'sys-apps/initng ~x86' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge initng initng-ifiles |
If you're using portage 2.1, there are some tweaks you can use for what it installs. To give you an idea, this variable is in my /etc/make.conf:
| Code: |
USE_EXPAND="INITNG_PLUGINS"
INITNG_PLUGINS="also bash_launcher chdir chroot conflict cpout critical cron daemon dev dllaunch envparser find fstat history idleprobe initctl interactive iparser last limit logfile netprobe ngc4 pause pidfile reload renice rlparser simple_launcher stcmd stdout suid syncron syslog unneeded ctrlaltdel dbus_event netdev provide sysreq" |
There is an explanation of this installation on the initng website. The gentoo wiki page is out of date. |

so, i just figured i would try this out on my machine. I got it installed, with the use flags suggested on the site, all my programs are ~amd64 so I was already using > portage-2.1 anyway, when I boot up, it seems to call three different headings of system/mountroot/check. The first time, it's fine, the third it's fine, but the second something is wrong. It will tell me that the fs (which is reiserfs) is mounted read-only, and that fsck failed, it is offering me the su_allow or whatever terminal? If I enter root password, I get the limited terminal with no write support, if I hit control-d, the system continues and seems to finish booting up with no problem. It's like it's doing an unnecessary check and failing. When I finally do get to 100% booting, I have a rw fs, and even kde and gdm work! Any ideas on how to get rid of that error?
Thanks, sorry for the long message. |

Hmm... First of all, what is "layman"
Also, how can I set the system up to automatically log in as root, or another user for that matter? I'd still like my services to start.
