<p>Copy from old</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>[[Category:Tips]]<br /> <br /> Avoid the full POST by your BIOS for a slightly faster reboot time, in &lt;code&gt;lilo.conf&lt;/code&gt;:<br /> <br /> append = &quot;reboot=bios,warm&quot;<br /> <br /> Brief explanation of options:<br /> <br /> bios Use the CPU reboot vector for warm reset<br /> warm Don't set the cold reboot flag<br /> <br /> Using warm reset will be much faster especially on big memory systems because the BIOS will not go through the memory check.<br /> Disadvantage is that not all hardware will be completely reinitialized on reboot so there may be boot problems on some systems.<br /> <br /> See &lt;code&gt;/usr/src/linux/Documentation/x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt&lt;/code&gt; for more details.</div>
