Subject: stall during boot on x86-64.
Date: Tue, 13 Dec 2005 22:22:03 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20051214032202.GA3429@redhat.com> (raw)

When I boot my EM64T, I get a slight noticable pause
really early on in boot.  Booting with 'time'
shows an interesting artifact.

Kernel command line: ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 console=ttyS0,38400 console=tty0 time
kernel profiling enabled (shift: 1)
[    0.000000] Initializing CPU#0

Note the jump in the time value..
I'm not sure this is actually where the pause I see is, as the text
is buffered, but it's something I can't explain.
