I use LILO, but read your answer and tested GRUB, and you are right, GRUB starts the boot process much faster than LILO, but I was talking about the time it takes once the kernel is booting already. Isn't that independent from the bootloader used? I experience the same problems when I use GRUB. For instance, I see "Serial: 8250/16550 driver $Revision: 1.90 $ 4 ports, IRQ sharing enabled" and the system seems to freeze for a while. It takes about 90 seconds for the next message (floppy0: no floppy controllers found) to show up. -sergio -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
