Quick-init - Boot your arch in 10 seconds

tuxfusion · 2009-09-22 23:17:29

Yes i found out the difference too ( finit-arc <> quick-init )

Bootchart automatically stop logging when X is loaded and user is logged.

I dunno about that, Do a normal boot with bootchart wait 2 minutes , stop bootchart , render image -> 2 minute wide picture.

I trust this prog , but bootchart is awesome and i would like to use it better , it must be something you do with quick-init ( finit-arc was the same short images ) runlevel change , dumping /var or what not ?
I have no idea of it maybe you would like to investigate on that matter too...
keep it up !

Thank you for this package, I think it's super cool and the efforts Adriano has made and all the community to keep improving it is just awesome.
One question though is it possible to have splashy in conjunction with quick-init? will it slow down the thing? is it worth it?

Solid1986Snake · 2009-09-24 05:49:02

I have

none                   /proc/bus/usb usbfs     auto,busgid=108,busmode=0775,devgid=108,devmode=0664 0 0

in my fstab, you know, the VIrtualbox thingy

The problem is that /proc/usb does not exist vefore udev started. What should I add to the scripts to get this automtically mountet on boot?

I never try splashy with quick-init. I think it should work...I will try

are you sure that it is caused by quick-init? The partition should be mountend automatically...however you can try to add something in /etc/qinit.sysinit

/bin/mount -n -t usbfs none /proc/bus/usb

I've read through the thread, but I'm still not clear on how to fix the problem of my drive not being mounted when the fsck happens.

I tried to remove dbus and the boot is amazilingly fast however as I start directly into x:5 my keyboard and mouse does not respond ?

Yes it should be.... but the mountpoint does not exist at the stage it should be mounted, so I get an error message.....

I will look where I will add it to /etc/qinit.sysinit....

But I think this is a little bug with your scripts...

This is a great. My system boots in just 10 seconds.But i have a small glitch. When i shutdown ,saving alsa levels fails every time. I am sure that it doesn't happened before. Also how can i return to my normal boot procedure if i want to.

You maybe also have to add keyboard and mouse to your xorg.conf afterwards.

I didn't remove nothing from original initscripts, I played only with init levels :\

to bharani
try to put alsa in the first position of DAEMONS array in rc.conf

I know, but I think this is the problem... i am not really sure, but hal should create /proc/usb??? Mounting the partition happens after your changes in the init levels and the vritual mount point usb is not present...

Do you mind of integrating xstart from ubuntu in your initscripts? The xserver is here started very early in boot process and gdm is a little patched I think.... Docu is a rare at the moment, but what I understand, it seems that they work with that the same way you changed the initscripts..

adriano · 2009-09-28 20:29:21

ok I will see ubuntu init

It still fails. Any other ways?

adriano · 2009-10-02 07:38:48

I don't know...try to add a mknod command for /dev/sda in qinit.sysinit (I forgot this)

Hi

First I installed finit-arc (from AUR) it does not works on my system, then now I want try with quick-initt.

The first post says: "...without replace the original arch initscripts, but only replace of /etc/inittab. Then the initscrips is not removed from your system with this PKGBUILD."

That means that finit-arc changed or replaced the orginal arch initscript on my system?

must I reinstall initscript before try this trick?

how can I reinstall initscript?

thanks so much

Finit-arc didn't replace the original arch scripts...you can remove finit-arc only.

thanks so much for your answer

Just one word: awesome

9 sec on Intel SSD.
Full KDE is usable after ~10 sec.

adriano · 2009-10-08 20:59:46

soon with the stable version of kernel 2.6.32 quick-init will be really stable and supported

to mxforce
to increment more your boot on ssd you can try sreadahead on ssd with kernel26-fastboot

kernel26-fastboot
sreadahead

really good, my last uptime was a 21 secs, now is 13 secs
this is the latest bootchart: http://img16.imageshack.us/img16/6648/bootchartn.png
but i have a litle issue
i try to start kdm from the inittab or rc.local but don't have compositing, from the daemons array in rc.conf the compositing be enable but X start later

mi graphic card its' a intel GM945 with the "intel" driver

adriano · 2009-10-09 02:16:52

I don't think that the compositing wants a dedicated device node under /dev then you must load the modules for compositing during the boot with modprobe or put them in MODULES array of rc.conf

Thanks for this advise, but it brings no more speed at all.

with the help of a user in archlinux.cl forum now fast start x with composite from rc.local works for me with the next steeps

i add hal and udev before xorg start in qinit.sysinit

find the line # Starting Xorg in qinit.sysinit and put theese lines before

# Starting HAL
if [ -x /etc/rc.d/hal ]; then
       /etc/rc.d/hal start
fi

# Starting UDEV
if [ -x /sbin/udevadm ]; then
       /sbin/udevd --daemon
fi

now edit the /etc/qinit.multi and comment the lines that added previously in qinit.sysinit

now composite i'ts fully works whit kdm from rc.local

waiting for quick-init with devtmpfs support

IndoctriNation · 2009-10-10 11:48:13

Hello,
I've got my /home encrypted by passphrase. The Keyboard does not respond during boot, so I am not able to mount the directory.
In original rc.sysinit, udev is loaded before the encrypted volumes are mounted. Must I undo this tweak, or is there some possibility to make the keyboard work?

Thanks for any Help!
