With my patches a 200Mhz PPro : runs the data in 63 seconds. P300. BTW, that's 60 seconds too long to be in the boot sequence. 63 seconds is too long for anything except a fsck on a dirty file system, imho. : > : > : fyi: try rebooting your system via 'init 6' or 'shutdown -r now' : > : which will write the /entropy file, thus avoiding the : > : code which is currently giving you problems. : > : > Except when it doesn't, which it usually doesn't. This is for halt, : > reboot and C-A-Delete. : : See pr 14829. We don't have a consistant way to bring the system : down (and save state for any processes that need it like random : and nfs). Hmmmm.
