 Posted: Wed Dec 20, 2006 12:47 pm Post subject: Slow boot and slow on startup |
 |
|
Im running kernel-2.6.19-gentoo-r1 and for some reason it takes me 40 seconds to boot, and every program is really slow after i bootup, but it speeds up after ive been using the system for a short while. And when i say every program i mean everything, portage takes forever to do stuff right after boot, and it takes longer for gnome to load, even when im booting into GDM it takes longer. It takes longer for the menu to show up when i click applications in the gnome menu. It seems like the load times of everything are tremendously increased, like it shouldnt be increased this much just after boot. Any help would be appreciated!
| Code: | alsasound | boot
bootmisc | boot
checkfs | boot
checkroot | boot
clock | boot
consolefont | boot
cupsd | default
dbus | default
hald | default
hostname | boot
hotplug | default
hplip | default
keymaps | boot
local | default nonetwork
localmount | boot
modules | boot
net.eth1 | default
net.lo | boot
netmount | default
rmnologin | boot
urandom | boot
xdm | default |
my make.conf:
| Code: | CFLAGS="-O2 -march=k8 -fomit-frame-pointer -msse3 -pipe"
CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu"
CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS}"
MAKEOPTS="-j2" |
this is all i have starting at bootup. is this support to be 40 seconds long?  |

| Chances are it is a config problem in your new kernel, specifically the DMA chipset stuff for disk. How did you configure the new kernel? Did you just copy the old .config from older kernel? From what version kernel did you upgrade? |

Ill look into the DMA thing.
Im using kernel 2.6.19 my previous kernel was 2.6.18, and i didnt copy the config and manually set everything for 2.6.19 in make menuconfig for the upgrade[/glep] |

I just changed profile from 2006.0 to 2006.1 (Desktop), ran an emerge -ND world, and now it's much slower on boot, specifically the bit where the screen blanks after the message "Launching kdm" to the login screen actually appearing.
Running AMD64 on kernel 2.6.17-gentoo-r8.
Can't say I've noticed anything slower after login though.
I also noticed the same exact phenomenon on a new installation, on a new PC I've just built. Same profile and kernel.

I have a very similar problem here and I don't know what triggered it. Switching kernels from 2.6.17 to 2.6.18 didn't change things.
With me, the slow boot happens about 25% of the time, and slow desktop 50% of the time. It really is very very annoying and I have no idea what's causing it.
