My vdr-system has the whole vdr/glibc/bin/modules-things in a initrd ram disc which is loaded by the bios together with the kernel. Boot time (after bios-checks) is < 10 seconds to see a picture and about 20 seconds until the system is ready to replay/record on a Duron 1300 board.
That sounds interesting. Can you post any more details or links to how to set this up?
You can find an outdated version on http://www.zastrow4u.de/ which can boot from a CD. Study how it works.
My actually version has *even* the ide-drivers included as kernel modules, which are loaded _after_ vdr is up and running. Setting up such a system is nothing for novice linuxer's. Therefore I can not spend any support, because the whole system is very hardware specific and mistakes often results in poorly booted systems without access to the drive...
