Hi boys!
First of all sorry for my bad English.
In my pc I have installed Ubuntu and Fedora. The first boots in few seconds but the seconds spends a lot of time (some minutes) to boot. I have a i7 920, a Asus P6T Deluxe v2, 6 GB of RAM and a ATI HD4890. The hard disk is 250GB.
I use as bootloader Burg installed by Ubuntu.
Could you help me to speed Fedora's boot?
Thank you!

hi boys!....??
what about girls....?? i'm not a girl but just sayin'....
which version of fedora have you installed ?
I've fedora 15 which boots in 30-40 seconds.....i'm satisfied at least with that...

Sorry girls!

However I have installed Fedora 15 and I boot in double your time. But why is Fedora so slow? It depends by Gnome shell?

well,i never faced it...
Have you enabled too many startup services ?
please view these links:
1) Speed up your boot time!
2) suggestions to speed up fedora
3) boot up time by nearly 10 seconds
4) How do I speed up load times?

good luck !!

Mostly this is due to a dhcp timing out.
Take a look in the log files for any pointers.

Kind regards

I've seen such long boot times on Redhat servers. Sendmail was turned on (chkconfig ...)
it was taking forever to start sendmail and fail, then move on to the next service.
It's worth a try to disable sendmail
and reboot.

dns not working properly can also cause some delays, but I don't expect it to account for a few minutes.
check the content of /etc/resolv.conf

Thanks everyone for your help!
I have done some of the things that are included in dEnDrOn guides and I disabled sendmail as 16pide suggested but time to boot decrease only a few. I don't know if the problem is dhcp as repo says, but internet works when the system is up and my provider doesn't allow me to disable it.
But when the system boot, now that I have removed the graphical screen, I see that it spends a lot of time in
What does it mean? I am a noob and I don't know what this is and if it is possible to speed up this process.

this seems to solve the problem !
good luck !

Thanks for your help dEnDrOn, but I don't understand what I have to do. In that post the problem were some Nvidia drivers, but I have a ATI GPU; so I have not nvidia packages to remove. I think that that thread can't help me. What do you suggest?

does your screen hangs after this or takes much time get past this ?

boot time not even reduced after those measures ?
I exactly measured my F15 boot time,from the moment i press the switch till my login box appears,it takes 38 seconds....after that 6-7 seconds more.
That totals upto maximum 45 seconds !

Well, now boot, from when I select Fedora in grub, takes 1:53 and almost 1:20 it stays on that line. After that desktop starts.

it is definitely a part of boot operations but it seems that the real problem is time consuming act of this process.
i hope this and this helps !
Actually both of these suggest same thing.

I have looked those but I have not kmod files installed. What do you suggest? Do I have to install akmod files just the same?

yeah...definitely !
I think that will help...
