15:18:52 <ogra_> yes, its pretty impressive 15:19:12 <slangasek> (i.e., an initramfs that doesn't start udev or contain modules, just immediately resolves the rootfs and pivots) 15:19:23 <ogra_> right, havent tested that yet 15:19:29 <slangasek> ok 15:19:45 <ogra_> but given that the loading even of a very small file in u-boot doesnt happen under 5 sec ... 15:20:02 <slangasek> ogra_: ah :) 15:20:12 <cjwatson> what's it doing?! 15:20:21 <infinity> Your uBoot seems a lot sadder than mine... 15:20:22 <ogra_> i'll test with the minimal one for getting the numbers at least 15:20:35 <cjwatson> Reparsing a filesystem every time or something?
