Description yogesh 2004-08-04 07:36:51 UTC
In Gentoo 2004.2

When the system shuts down successfully then next boot is very slow, When I simply plug it out its OK,the next boot is normal.
Comment 1 Aaron Peterson 2004-08-04 13:41:03 UTC
need more of that there info.


emerge --info,

what types of file systems are you using..

is your unplugging of the box causing hd corruption that must be checked?

Did you remember to etc-update?

... there could be other things...
Comment 2 yogesh 2004-08-04 21:28:07 UTC
Switching to run level 0 
sending all process the term signal 
-> When I reboot here, the next boot is fast 


Switching to run level 0 
sending all process the term signal 
stopping local [OK] 
-> When I reboot here, the next boot is very slow. 


I have used est3 file system for root and ext2 for /boot

Can't fix this without a lot more information.  Start with the output of emerge --info and the output of rc-status please.  Reopen after providing the information.

Comment 5 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2004-10-07 20:37:45 UTC
when you watch the computer boot, what line sits there the longest ?

you describe the whole process as taking a very long time, but is it in reality just a few scripts ?

The CPU speeds seems okey. Same bogomips on the "fast" and the "slow" boot.. What part of the boot-process is slow then? Or is the entire-kernel boot before init slow?

Another thing. Are you using a frame-buffer or a regular old-fasion console?
Comment 8 yogesh 2005-02-14 09:46:35 UTC
the bug was in kernel 2.4 that comes with 2004.2, the 2.6 kernel works nicely.
Comment 9 Stian Skjelstad 2005-07-03 03:24:28 UTC
Please close bug. When looking at the kernel-output, the "slow" boot had an
unclean journal, which might take time to replay if there are faults, like seen
here. And upgrading kernel helped, so please close bug-report.

ah, thanks for catching that
