If I boot with "rhgb quiet" off, my computer boots in 1 minute and 30 seconds. If I boot with "rhgb quiet" on, my computer boots in 3m11s. That's a long time to wait. Significantly, when booting with "rhgb quiet", right at the moment X takes over, there is a 1m36s pause where the screen is blank except for the hourglass cursor turning around and around. Of course, if my main priority was to simply boot quickly, I would simply remove the "rhgb quiet" option from the boot process. And I'm not opposed to doing that. However, this pause only started happening recently, so I wonder why it exists at all. When booting with "rhgb quiet" off, I tried to look for any errors or indications of a problem, but it seemed to boot mostly without pause or error. There was one message which was like an error warning, which said something about a "microcode device doesn't exist?". But text was moving across the screen quickly and I couldn't write down exactly what it said. Before I give in and remove the "rhgb quiet" option permanently, is there any way I might be able to diagnose and fix this delay problem? I'd rather be telling the computer how to boot, instead of it telling me. Dave
