Hello list,
I have recently seen the new feature of the initscripts, where the waiting time for uevents settling is being reported. So since we are all interested in booting speed, what are the times being reported for your computer?
Let me start with a P3 800MHz I have running arch. Normal wait time: ~11.5s acpi=off wait time: ~5s
What about yours?
5500-5900ms normally.

Hi, as a first time poster, please note bottom posting -; and Arch noob of 1 year (and loving it) I find that uevents takes 2 seconds to process on boot. Just as a matter of interest I changed from Reiserfs to JFS filesystems on /boot, swap, / and /home and they flash by in about 1 second on boot. When I had Reiserfs they took a long time to check.
I don't know whether this is good or bad but total boot time from boot splash to log in screen including nvidia splash takes 25 seconds. I've got @ in front of most of my daemons in rc.conf. (backgrounded)
System is 1.86 core 2 duo with 2 gig of ram.
1.5 G pentium m with 512 mb of ram,it's a about 5 yr ibm T40.
At last I can reply to one of the list messages. Most of them are above my head. I hope I've made sense. Thanks to all concerned for a great distro. gnu2
