I am using the kernel parameter lpj to avoid calculating processor speed during kernel load. If I do not use the lpj parameter, the detection of cpu speed takes about 10 seconds, but then there is no delay after: NET: Registered protocol family 2 Any hints what I can try to get a fast booting kernel ? I am using 2.6.20 with some gentoo patches ( plain 2.6.20-4 has the same problem ). My .config is here: http://www.helmutauer.de/.config-2.6.20.3.gz -- Helmut Auer, helmut@helmutauer.de
