Hi, looks like a similar thing was done on a current Mandriva distribution. See http://blog.crozat.net/2008/09/improving-boot-time-on-general-linux.html
Basically they have a very detailed description including some bootchart outputs. At the end they say it is good to have readahead running in background mode with IO set to idle prio. They introduced it even within the initrd, if I understood it corectly, so it may be worth looking at this again. Achim -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
