Sign upIs fast boot speed of the Linux kernel part of LinuxBoot’s agenda? #16

Hi Paul, you can also use slack to directly chat with the team. I am not sure that fast boot is a priority today, but clearly one of the goal of linuxboot is to enhance boot time of hardware. Now we don't compare (yet) one to build to another, but more with stock uefi. Currently the kernel starts quite fast by the way and the longest time is probably lost into pcie enumeration which I believe is not that easy to accelerate. |

Note that this fast boot goal does not actually match all use cases, hence it is desirable to boot as fast as possible but there are some .com's that have other needs that may slow booting down. |
[Probably, the mailing list would be the better forum, but I still do not know how to subscribe with a non Google Mail account.]
The ROM kernel should boot as quick as possible, so besides hosting configurations to build a minimal Linux kernel, patches and guides how to further speed up the boot should be collected in the LinuxBoot repository/infrastructure.
