Hi,
FatDog is booting from an USB stick that has three partitions:
Code: Select all
# fdisk -l /dev/sda
Disk /dev/sda: 58.59 GiB, 62914560000 bytes, 122880000 sectors
Disk model: ProductCode
Units: sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes
Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes
Disklabel type: gpt
Disk identifier: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Device Start End Sectors Size Type
/dev/sda1 2048 5070847 5068800 2.4G EFI System
/dev/sda2 5070848 51726335 46655488 22.2G Linux filesystem
/dev/sda3 51726336 122877951 71151616 33.9G Linux filesystem
sda3 is a cryptsetup encrypted LUKS container.
In sda1, EFI/boot/refind.conf, I've setup several FatDog boot entries, and one late EasyOS Daedalus.
Two of the boot entries that don't try to load any savedir are these:
Code: Select all
menuentry "Fatdog64 Linux FATDOG_LIVE no save dir" {
icon /EFI/boot/icons/os_fatdog.png
volume FATDOG_LIVE
initrd \FD901/initrd
loader /FD901/vmlinuz
}
menuentry "Fatdog64 Linux PUPPIES no save dir" {
icon /EFI/boot/icons/os_fatdog.png
volume PUPPIES
initrd \FD901/initrd
loader /FD901/vmlinuz
}
Code: Select all
# parted -l
Model: VendorC ProductCode (scsi)
Disk /dev/sda: 62.9GB
Sector size (logical/physical): 512B/512B
Partition Table: gpt
Disk Flags:
Number Start End Size File system Name Flags
1 1049kB 2596MB 2595MB fat32 FATDOG_LIVE boot, esp
2 2596MB 26.5GB 23.9GB ext4 PUPPIES
3 26.5GB 62.9GB 36.4GB SESSIONS
When booting from the first entry, the FATDOG_LIVE, loading vmlinuz (and showing another line below it) takes about twenty seconds.
These are the files at sda1/FD901:
Code: Select all
# ls -l /mnt/sda1/FD901/
total 861620
-rwxr-x--- 1 root root 663115776 Aug 17 10:16 initrd
-rwxr-x--- 1 root root 19666944 Aug 17 10:16 initrd-nano
-rwxr-x--- 1 root root 190308352 May 25 2024 java-jdk-22.0.1+8-x64.sfs
-rwxr-x--- 1 root root 9202176 Aug 17 10:16 vmlinuz
When using the second entry, booting from the ext4 sda2, loading vmlinuz (and showing another line below it) takes SEVEN minutes!
Code: Select all
# ls -l /mnt/sda2/FD901/
total 861624
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 663115776 Aug 17 10:16 initrd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19666944 Aug 17 10:16 initrd-nano
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 190308352 May 25 2024 java-jdk-22.0.1+8-x64.sfs
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9202176 Aug 17 10:16 vmlinuz
I'd like have the system boot from sda2, not from the EFI partition.
What is wrong with this delay of seven minutes?
