Lenny boots slowly on iBook G4
Hello,
I have updated to Lenny yesterday. Everything is working fine but there's a little thing that caught my attention and I'd like to get rid of. Here it : Code:
debian:/home/stefan# dmesg It is repeatable. Why is there such a long pause ? When the boot is running, this pause is quite visible. I've checked the logs (as far as I know that stuff) and nothing seems wrong, no time out, no error and the system is doing fine. Nevertheless, I'd like to get a top speed boot :-) Although I don't expect any hard answer, I'd be glad to learn how to get more boot-time information so that I can track the issue better. Thanks, Stefan |
I've investigated some more. While the boot is running, I read :
waiting for /dev to be fully populated this doesn't show up in any logs afterwards, it's just shown on the console while booting. After that line, there's some of the stuff I've shown in my previous message and then, there's : Done. So I guess the problem lies there and has nothing to do with snd-aoa stuff. So the next question is : what is this /dev population thing and do I debug it (or at least, make it more verbose). stF |
Oh btw, on the very same machine, I've used Etch for a year and never had such an issue...

Activating udev debugging to a file is simple (when you know :-))
in /etc/init.d/udev I set : Code:
log_daemon_msg "Starting the hotplug events dispatcher" "udevd" stF |
Made some progress, by commenting out this line :
# SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:14:51:85:13:6e", NAME="eth2" in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and now it works like a charm... But I'm sure that disabling this line is breaking some functionality.... stF |
There was also this method:
Edit /etc/udev/udev.conf and change priority dpkg-reconfigure udev Reboot, debug should be in syslog |
Thx for the advice, it is much cleaner than my direct editing...
