| What else can I do to improve boot speed on my laptop? I've compiled everything for the pentium3 arch, plus -Os for small binaries. I made the root partiton close to the center (which improved boot by ~7 seconds). I've included the minimal number of daemons required. So what else could I do to improve boot times? |

Have youn cleared out everything from you kernel you don't need?
Also try cleaning RC scripts with rc-update. |

I've removed quite a bit from the kernel, but there's something of which I don't understand the purpose so I decided to leave them in.

I've done that too, thanks. |

I'll look into einit. Someone else here suggested that too.

jordanwb,
Try a decompressed kernel image. ... vmlinux.
It will be larger so will take longer to load but you will not have the decompression CPU time.
