Topic: Openwrt x86 slow to boot

The content of this topic has been archived on 24 Mar 2018. There are no obvious gaps in this topic, but there may still be some posts missing at the end.

My Kamikaze booting from CF on the soekris is slow to boot.
However, when I put in on Qemu emulation, it boots up very fast.

Anyone experienced that ? Any boot parameters I can put in
to speed up the booting ?

Regards.

can you share your dmseg output?
I have similar effect with WRAP 2C - there is problem with IRQs and DMA (this can be 'workarounded' by adding ide=nodma in GRUB boot options)

change line in /boot/grub/menulist

like this:

serial --unit=0 --speed=19200 --word=8 --parity=no --stop=1
terminal serial
default 0
timeout 0

The discussion might have continued from here.
