I’m trying to speed up the boot process, and notice the system waits starting network services (fails). The following process aborts (can’t see what it is). I suspect it’s because network service starts before the NIC is recognized. Would this cause the network service to fail? Should network start after the NIC?
I tried pressing F5 during boot, but no change. I use grub2 installed by ubuntu 10.10, not opensuse’s boot loader.
My boot time was 1 minute, until I removed an older ide HDD, and now boot in about 35 seconds from a SDD on a i7 system. Ubuntu 11.10 boots in 10-15 seconds, which I hope to match with opensuse.
