I've booted Linux in sub-second times using User Mode Linux so there's nothing actually preventing it other than the need to probe hardware in various slow ways, which could be improved.
- yitchelle 10y agoSo this is going from connecting power to having a full system ready to go?
- rkeene2 10y agoThe question doesn't really make sense since there's no "power" involved -- the kernel neither has nor lacks power... but if I understand the nature of the question, then the answer is "yes" -- the system goes from not existing to being at a bash prompt in under 0.3s on my laptop.
