Package: grub-pc
Version: 1.96+20080704-1 (and before)
Severity: important
After fixing #477083 there still is a boot-delay loading grub2 (compared to
grub-legacy).
Using real hardware (no qemu or so): AMD Duron 1200 (K7)
My grub2 boot-timing is the following: (with some "echo"-calls as Robert Millan
suggested)
0 - 2 sec.: "Welcome to GRUB!", some flickering (loading gfxterm, vbe)
the first three "echo"-calls flickers but are not
readable (gone extreme fast)
2 - 5 or 6 sec: displaying the two lines: "Before insmod png" _and_ "After
insmod png" (appear together)
6 - ... sec: the last three "echo"-calls flickers but are not readable
(gone extreme fast)
displaying graphical menu
I think the middle-part (2 - 6 sec) is too long and needs improvement.
See my grub.cfg for the placement of the "echo"-calls:
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/00_header ###
set default=2
set timeout=5
set root=(hd0,9)
search --fs-uuid --set a7abc87e-7b9d-4585-b292-fdd1fc33f1b4
if font /usr/share/grub/ascii.pff ; then
set gfxmode=640x480
echo "Before insmod gfxterm"
insmod gfxterm
echo "After insmod gfxterm, before insmod vbe"
insmod vbe
echo "After insmod vbe"
terminal gfxterm
fi
### END /etc/grub.d/00_header ###
### BEGIN /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ###
set root=(hd0,9)
search --fs-uuid --set a7abc87e-7b9d-4585-b292-fdd1fc33f1b4
echo "Before insmod png"
insmod png
echo "After insmod png"
if background_image /boot/grub/debian-blueish-wallpaper-640x480.png ; then
echo "bgimage"
set color_normal=black/black
set color_highlight=magenta/black
else
echo "no bgimage"
set menu_color_normal=cyan/blue
set menu_color_highlight=white/blue
fi
### END /etc/grub.d/05_debian_theme ###
echo "Now OS-list:"
