My Bootchart

bilalaslam · 2008-11-29 03:56:56

Hello,

I am on a C90s Laptop and was wondering if 20 seconds is a good bootup time to get straight into kdemod4. I have followed a few guides and also recompiled my kernel with ABS. If anyone can point me into a location of how to trim my kernel removing any unused drivers or anything please let me know. If you would like any of my files posted also let me know. Thanks for your input.

How did you make that?

20 seconds is fine if your using a 2.6.27 kernel. As for a howto on drivers, no one can really give you a guide, you need to figure out what your system has and needs, and compile them as built in rather than as external modules.
I have seen some scripts around that scan all your modules (like on a stock arch kernel) and list all the modules that can be loaded, from that you could just start from a kernel with no .config and add what you need.

I used a program called bootchart

pacman -S bootchart

Change your kernel line to include this
init=/sbin/bootchartd

After reboot type
bootchart-render

Open file from file browser.

That would be in your GRUB menu, correct?

Can you please post your rc.conf?

@elmer_42, yes.
