Slow boot windows server 2003

Post by Zuurstof »

Hey all,

I have an image that is taking me approx 5 minutes to load on a quad core computer with ssd, enough memory and the works. This image works fine on older machines, but something seems to be bugging it out on my machine. It will boot eventually, but having to wait 5 minutes is not acceptable.

I've looked at the logs generated by the image, and it clearly shows everything is going fine until it hits the following line in the log ( I will include the full log as attachment)


00:00:06.847755 Display::handleDisplayResize(): uScreenId = 0, pvVRAM=000000000c5d0000 w=640 h=480 bpp=0 cbLine=0x140, flags=0x1
00:00:06.847777 UIFrameBuffer::RequestResize: Screen=0, Format=0, BitsPerPixel=0, BytesPerLine=0, Size=640x480, Sending to async-handler..

00:00:06.847852 UIFrameBufferQImage::resizeEvent: Resizing to FALLBACK buffer due to format is invalid..

00:04:08.980437 PIIX3 ATA: LUN#0: aborting current command
00:05:07.037100 PCNet#0: Init: ss32=1 GCRDRA=0x09e6d420[64] GCTDRA=0x09e6d020[64]

It seems to have something to do with the prefered size of the screen it wants to change into, but that's just an educated guess. I did play with these settings, trying all 3 of them but nothing seems to matter. I hope somebody can give me some more insight on what the problem might be.

Thanks.

If you need more information, feel free to ask.

00:00:02.762571 HMR3Init: Falling back to raw-mode: VT-x is not available.

Something else is using VMX. Hyper-V?

Hyper-v was installed on machine. After removing it, it was done booting within a matter of seconds. Thanks a lot man!!
