Well, not forever, but about a full minute The machine that I built for my brother boots in 15-20 seconds!
My system:
Athlon 700@864MHz
Abit KA7
256MB PC133 SDRAM @ 144MHz
GeForce2 GTS @ 220/380
SBLive! X-Gamer
Promise Ultra/66 Controller
Linksys 10/100 PCI Ethernet Adapter
Zoom ISA Hardware Modem
Maxtor 40GB HD
Philips 5x DVD
Ricoh 6x4x24 CD-RW
Zip100 Internal
Generic Floppy
entrega 3 port USB hub + Ethernet Adapter (Ethernet adapter disabled)
Lexmark 5700 Printer
UMAX Astra 2100U USB Scanner
Microsoft Natural Keyboard PRO USB
Microsoft Intellimouse Explorer
Gravis Gamepad Pro USB
I've done everything I can think of to speed up the boot process, including setting the bootdelay to zero and disabling the splash screen.
I don't know if I'm reading this right, but it my bootlog file appears to say that it's taking a long time to load TCP/IP. Am I correct about this?
Any tips on how to speed things up will be very much aprreciated! Thanks!
