Very slow booting time [SOLVED!!] =D

#1 Post by thamarok »

Hello!

I don't know why, but my computer seems to boot very slowly these times.. The booting takes 2 minutes and after that it loads the OS!

EDIT: I made very much tests and finally I was able to have the booting time squeezed down to 10 seconds. The problem lied here: I had my Wacom Volito2 connected through USB the whole time, and after I unplugged it and made a reboot, the BIOS loading time was significantly faster. I don't know why it was about my Volito2, but I assume the BIOS understanded it as another mouse and after a time-out it forced the Volito2 to be a Generic USB Device.

can you see what it's doing, or is there a big splashimage covering up what it's doing?

do you maybe have unterminated scsi devices?

one way of speeding up booting is to set the boot order, unless you specifically need to boot from a cd (for installation for example) you can set it to be the hd and it'll skip spinning up cdrom/floppy/whatever in the beginning, and you can remove annoying self-tests and memory counters

Well? Share the knowledge, how did you fix it, and what was wrong?
