Well, yes. It is the generic Ubuntu kernel booting in all its bloaty glory. :) But this is what most users are stuck with. The distro vendors won't change their ways because they want their stuff to run on anything. So I'm not trying to build a custom kernel just for me. I want to find ways to have any distro optimize itself to boot in 5-10 seconds on any computer it has been installed on, without manual configuration. > Also I'd love to have seen the scenario where the modules were just > build into the kernel; that gives usually a more reliable indication of > what is going on... Alright, I'm on it.
