Hi, all is working and looking great so far, except for this delay
seemingly related to the time it takes the video card to inicialize.
I have a HP Pavilion-dv7t-4100 notebook:
Intel i7 with 8 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD
In lspci the vga card shows> [AMD/ATI] Madison [Mobility Radeon HD 5650/5750 / 6530M/6550M]
The same notebook with Lite 3.8 would take a total of about 17 seconds to boot up
Now in Lite 4.0 takes about 50.
After a little playing around with systemd-analyze, dmesg, etc
I found out that if I change this line in grub:
from: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=""
to: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="radeon.modeset=0""
I "get back" those extra 30 seconds...
(but it seems that the video card is not accelerated with this option enabled)I don't know how the Lite 3.8 handled the Video Card... but if I could just make Lite 4.0 deal with the card the previous way ... may be I could make it boot faster.
This is what I get if I issue the command:
