Hi Charles,
the main talk deadline and lightning talk deadline for FOSDEM are over, but maybe some of the developer rooms somewhat fit the topic and still accept the talk? Not sure.
In any case, it would be great to have you there at FOSDEM at our booth if we get a booth this year.
Regards, Carl-Daniel

If you all get this take it to FOSDEM!
BTW I need a tiny kernel for u-root, how small can you get it at this point?

This is great. We've gotten an acer c720 down to 1.7 seconds from power button to chromeos login screen. I've always wanted to get it done in under a second. I hope you can get there!
It looks quite possible.
I couldn't sleep much last night, so I burned the midnight oil to achieve my goal of a *real fast* boot, building on the i915.fastboot improvements.
It may have taken 4 months, but I could finally trim the kernel boot time to about 0.8s after further hackish fixes - like starting the scsi and sata drivers before the tty and char drivers, enabling paralllel probe for ahci, making psmouse a module because it was delaying boot too much, etc.
If you use systemd with the configuration files I suggested before, your system should now be ready 1.4s after coreboot started grub. [...]
