[SOLVED] long running start job swap and random seed
Hey Folks,
i have a problem booting up arch linux version 5.3.8-arch1-1
I get messages alternating between
A start job is running for /dev/mapper/swap (1min 35s / no limit) and
A start job is running for Load/Save Random Seed (1min 36s / 9min 57s)The toggling between these to messages takes up to 10minutes. After that my system
finishes the boot process and everything seems fine.
i'm searching for a hint where to look to solve this Problem. Right now i am a bit lost.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Greetings
wahla

With a sufficiently new CPU you can also pass "random.trust_cpu=on" to the kernel (assuming this actually is an entropy issue)
