Slackware 12.0: boot problem & sudo / wifi-radar problem
Hey there,
Running 12.0 On an IBM R51, the rest of the specs are in my sig. 1) After the LILO boot screen when it says: Code:
Loading Linux............................................................ 2) wifi-radar. I edited sudoers with the line: Code:
username ALL=/usr/sbin/wifi-radar Code:
username@thinkpad:~$ sudo /usr/sbin/wifi-radar Thanks! |
Check that the compact option is in the global section of /etc/lilo.conf file. Also, how big is the kernel image compared to the faster ones? If you change anything in lilo.conf remember to run the lilo command to implement the changes.
|
Not sure what the compact option is...I don't think it is in there. I am running vmlinuz-generic-2.6.21.5
here is my lilo.conf: Code:
# LILO configuration file Thanks |
i know that lilo might also depend on HD speed. a good example (for me atleast) is that Lilo loads my server (7200RPM) in about 2sec, my latop in about 20-30sec (4200RPM). This is what i think, but maybe wrong.

It has a brand new 5400RPM WD 120GB. No OS should take this long to boot. I don't think its the OS though, because when tux appears in the corner the text starts flying by. The slow part is just that "Loading Linux / BIOS Data check" part.
anyone have any ideas about the wifi-radar problem? Thanks! |

I'd forgotten there was a second question! Sorry.
Maybe edit your sudoers file to be more like this: Code:
username HOSTNAME=(root) NOPASSWD: /usr/sbin/wifi-radar |
The compact option worked! My laptop goes from lilo to gdm in about 24 seconds! :D
Being as I have gotten WICD to manage my wireless and wired connections I have no need for wifi-radar, so I will removepkg that. I'm sure I could have figured it out, but it was easier to install a program that works with little or no config... Thank you dracolich! |
