dmesg boot errors - system hangs

bpont · 2013-10-18 19:32:47

After a recent update, I'm noticing my system hangs during login. I enter my login id (root for example), then there's a long pause, then prompt for password, after I enter password, it hangs for about 20 seconds or so, then I'm logged in. When I log in my regular user, it also hangs. I have things set up to automatically startx and open some programs after normal user login, but when I log in as normal user it just goes to a standard prompt and doesn't startx, but I can do it manually at the prompt. Also, I can't seem to ctrl + alt + F2[..3, etc.] to get to a tty. There's also a long lag between calling PCManFM and the window appearing. Something is definitely wrong. Here are some error messages:

Not sure what's going on...hope someone can help.

So far, things have seemed to improve simply by removing "quiet" from my kernel boot parameters. Still would appreciate some more insight into the error messages.

I don't think your ACPI Warnings are to blame; similar noise in my dmesg for months now and no lag on login as you describe.
