Grub too long to boot
Hi!
I like the Grub bootloader but it is very long to boot before it shows the menu. It takes about 40 second in stage 2.5(I think) before it shows the menu. Lilo gives me the menu right off the bat! Can someone explain to me why Grubs does that? Thanks Richard |
tell more about your hardware configuration .. like where is your linux installed.... what is your partition geometry??? etc....
|
Well, is my hardware really have something to do with it??
Athlon 2.5 512 ram Soundblaster 5.1 Nvidia 5200fx Cheers!!!!!!!!! Rich |
Ah yes
MSI Motherboard |
I read your post again;
I have 4 physical Hard drives; 1 is linux only meaning root and user on 16 Gigs HD Rich |
four hard drivess.. that is real much .. tha t might be the reason it takes so long to boot...
|
Bah, I don't think so, Lilo is very fast. unless Lilo uses a different way of loading it's menu.
Cheers Rick |
lilo is comparatively fast but the think is not so portable and is becoming obsolete...
