Hive based registry hangs in retail build

Hi,
have PXA255 platform derived from Lubbock. Using WInCE 5.0.
I have setup my hive registry to be on NOR Flash. Everything works fine in a
debug build, hives are mounted on flash and booting time is aorund 20
seconds. With a release build its taking long time to boot around 5 minutes.

Any help is appreciated,

thanks
Anand

Why is this hive registry related?

Run celog during boot to measure what's going on.

If CeLog shows that there's a thread running all the time, run the monte
carlo profiler to measure what it's doing.

Hope that helps,

Hi,
I enabled celog during boot. I checked celog.clg file in kernel tracker. I
found one thread in filesys.exe process is causing delay. From debug output I
can confirm its trying to mount hive registry files. Still I can't find out
why mounting takes such a long time.
I tried to use monte carlo profiler. But there is no documentation to start
during boot.

Any help is appreciated

If it's before the hive is mounted, there isn't really a way to start the
profiler that early (not without hacking the OAL to start it or something).

Can you break into the debugger? If it's taking 5 minutes it should be easy
to stop and see what's going on.
