- Cut off another 20 seconds from the benchmark time (down from 46.8 to 26.2 seconds) by suppressing unnecessary recalculation of menu choices. Now at 35% of original time, with a goal of 20%.

- Short week; off on Monday and vacation from the 24th to the end of the year.
- Replied to Dylan's email on changes to the slideshow and how to get up and running with testing the installer.

Scott James Remnant
- Short week due to holidays.
- Hard Drive performance:
- Did some investigation into kernel page cache flags, there's something in here that marks "readahead" but I think it's just kernel's own readahead at the moment, not readahead() pages
- mountall:
- Re-permitted nobootwait for virtual devices
- Reworked mountpoint tagging quite a bit
- Fixed bug where mountpoints not listed in /etc/fstab would always need to be remounted
- (util-linux) added documentation for fstab options, and made mount ignore them
- initramfs-tools:
- Fixes for crashes on boot caused by strcmp() on a NULL device name
- Fixed delay for the resume invocation
- Switch to mounting devtmpfs on /dev
- Plymouth:
- Fair amount of work on figuring out why things weren't working out, narrowed down to bad TTY and VT handling code. Worked on a temporary patch that only uses /dev/tty7 as the "console" and forces a VT_WAITACTIVE after the VT switch.
- Fixed "plymouth deactivate" crashes when no renderer was active, or when --show-splash had never been called.
- Fixed "plymouth quit" after "plymouth deactivate"
- Removed code that disabled plymouth when alternate init= used.
- Always start plymouth, let it use the splash kernel argument to decide whether or not to use the graphical or text mode renderer (since we always want to use plymouth for prompting)
- Learned a bit about console logging.
