With the help of Jimmy from initng project I was able to get initng up and running on my laptop in a pretty short time. End result is 1:20 vs. :18 second boot times. ftp://65.28.94.10/pub/bootchartd/initng-bootchart.png ftp://65.28.94.10/pub/bootchartd/default-bootchart-1.png WARNINGS I haven't been able to get this to work on a system running LVM and usb doesn't work during startup(YET)!! Wget -c http://initng.thinktux.net/download/initng-0.1.6.tar.bz2 tar xvjpf initng-0.1.6.tar.bz2 cd initng-0.1.6 ./configure make su -c "make install" Things to change before you reboot: Edit grub to include duplicate kernel entrys and edit one to use initng instead of default init and change root=LABEL=/1 to root=/dev/hda3 (what ever your / is on) vi /boot/grub/grub.conf title Fedora Core (2.6.12-1.1398_FC4-initng) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4 ro root=/dev/hda3 vga=0x317 init=/sbin/initng #init=/sbin/bootchartd-ng initrd /initrd-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4.img title Fedora Core (2.6.12-1.1398_FC4) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4 ro root=LABEL=/1 rhgb quiet init=/sbin/bootchartd initrd /initrd-2.6.12-1.1398_FC4.img Edit the system.runlevel for initng and comment out coldplug vi /etc/initng/system.runlevel #system/coldplug Add some extras to default.runlevel vi /etc/initng/default.runlevel daemon/xfs daemon/gdm daemon/hald system/usb system/alsasound To start services after the system is up (in 18 seconds), like coldplug to control my usb mouse. ngc -u system/coldplug To add/del service from starting up ng-update add coldplug default ng-update del system/coldplug I assume lvm bits need to be added to /etc/initng/system/initial.i file included. There are some other errors during boot up, but nothing that looks chaotic and again, lvm = no at the moment and if you have usb kbd you might be out of look (unless you can ssh to it) # ngc -s Next Generation init Control. written by Jimmy Wennlund <jimmy.wennlund@xxxxxxxxx> hh:mm:ss service (fetching a 01124 byte table) : status ---------------------------------------------------------- 21:40:54 default : done. 21:40:51 system : done. 21:40:54 net/eth0 : done. 21:40:51 daemon/sshd : running. 20:40:50 daemon/acpid : running. 21:40:49 daemon/xfs : running. 21:40:51 daemon/gdm : running. 21:40:51 daemon/hald : running. 20:40:50 system/usb : done. 21:40:49 system/alsasound : done. 20:40:48 system/initial : done. 20:40:49 system/mountroot : done. 20:40:50 system/mountfs : done. 21:40:49 system/bootmisc : done. 01:40:48 system/clock : done. 20:40:48 system/hostname : done. 20:40:49 system/modules : done. 20:40:49 system/static-modules : done. 20:40:49 system/hdparm : done. 21:40:49 system/keymaps : done. 20:40:50 system/urandom : done. 21:40:49 system/consolefont : done. 20:40:49 system/swap : done. 21:40:51 net/lo : done. 20:40:50 daemon/agetty : done. 20:40:50 daemon/agetty/tty2 : running. 20:40:50 daemon/agetty/tty3 : running. 20:40:50 daemon/agetty/tty4 : running. 20:40:50 daemon/agetty/tty5 : running. 20:40:50 daemon/agetty/tty6 : running. 20:40:50 daemon/agetty/tty7 : running. 20:40:50 daemon/agetty/tty8 : running. 20:40:50 daemon/agetty/tty9 : running. 20:40:49 daemon/acpid/modules : done. 20:40:50 system/localmount : done. 21:40:49 daemon/prexfs : done. 21:40:51 daemon/dbus : running. 21:40:49 system/alsasound/loadmodules : done. 21:40:54 up : done. 21:40:54 daemon/agetty/tty1 : running.
