booting grml via firewire

Monday, August 15. 2005

grml boots via firewire. Thanks to Martin Buchleitner for helping me to locate the problem, now we will officially support booting grml via firewire starting with the upcoming release(s).

 BTW: I renamed the 'usb'-cheatcode to scandelay and slightly improved it. Now it's possible to add a delay of some seconds to the boot sequence so the modules in the initrd have enough time to access the devices. Currently scandelay uses a default of 10 seconds, using a parameter makes it more flexible - e.g. scandelay=3 will add a delay of only 3 seconds.

grml and bootchart

bootchart image

I just booted grml via a new bootparam called 'bootchart' inspired by an article on debian-administration.org. To generate the picture you will have to save /var/log/bootchart.tgz and copy it to the same location on a system where bootchart-view is available. As you can see in the picture it takes 54 seconds to boot the grml(-large).iso via CD-ROM using default options on my laptop.
