This unfortunate behaviour started in Wary and was reported at that time. It has since migrated to other woof builds. I can hardly agree that if for some computers/kernels it is needed more time to show up usb partitions everyone else (default Puppy boot) has to wait. But it should be possible for ...

(I added to my init script a usb_delay= parameter to control how many seconds to use). Yes, this is the way... usb_delay=0 failed to me until I hacked an ugly waitdev=sdb1 boot parameter to wait directly the drive I want. That and after fixing a 2 seconds delay because there is no floppy in my PC a...

I found that on Puppy 5.2, I see this also happens with Luci 254

With some hacking of pupngo I was able to get to the xvesa + jwm desktop in ~3 sec on a 1.6ghz machine. It wasn't by any means fully functional, but the rest could load in the background ... possibly even in parts. After taking a look at it now I strongly believe that a 15 seconds USB boot of a nea...

... if puppy did not wait for the USB then the hardware would not have time to settle an send correct signals and it would fail. take a look to http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?p=504607#504607 Another way would be to tell the user of a OS to write explicit code on the kernel line. &qu...

Hi everyone, BUG: if a internal multi memory card reader connected by USB is mounted in the PC the part of "Waiting for usb partitions" of the step "Loading drivers needed to access disk drives" takes 17 seconds more (this wait are the red dots). The problem is a new (puppy 5.2) ...

nothing against your way of getting information, but it might be that the puppy kernel supports the printk.time=1 kernel bootparameter... Thanks, that is a good tip for modules boot timing research. I have tested it and it only prints times in bootkernel.log nothing in the logs of init and rc.sysinit

You may try bootchartd from recent busybox. Thanks for the tip, and I would like to have some form of my patches in the official Puppy to help to take boot time into account in the development and use, so I prefer to stay with what is present inside bare Puppy 5.20 I would like to have people to pa...

Hi everyone, I attach some patches for Puppy 5.20 to time boot messages (in screen and to log) and to have a single boot log with uptimed messages. Is this the right place for this? The idea is to locate wasted time to help to speed up boot. I boot from usbstick with "pmedia=usbflash pfix=ram,n...
