I'd say the output of systemd-analyze seems reasonable to me.. the problem seems to be before the system get over loading the initial ramdisk which takes up a ridiculous amount of time, I had othe distros on this pc and the boot time was never alarming to the point of me having to look it up..

If any one got a hint, it'd be really cool.. thank y'all.

Re: [SOLVED] Boot Is Too Slow (> 2m) at Loading Initial Ramdisk

Take a look at your journal for your last boot (journalctl -b -1), it looks like something is timing out during startup. The default "timeout" is 90s or so, so it's likely a service that fails or never completes.

Get rid of 'quiet' in the kernel command line, see what's actually happening.

Thanks for the tip. I've tried to change the default timeout in systemd.conf but for some reason it didn't work.. it just kept on counting up to 90s and the system boots with no errors (when taking out 'quiet' param in grub settings). So you're probably right, there's some kind of service or unit that is causing this behavior in systemd. I ran the journalctl -b -1 command, but I can't quite pinpoint what causing this issue form its output. here it is anyway:

I'm analyzing the output as I'm writing this, but hopefully someone with more experience will be able to spot the faulty service before I do.. Thank you for the response

I've done that at some point, it shows loading initial ramsidk for like 90s and then it begins booting normally with no errors.

Was some time lost before the journal started?  I am interpreting the following as from boot to loading systemd off the root filesystem was performed in under a second.

That's weird.. not sure how to respond to your question as I didn't quite understand it.. I have configured grub to have 0s timeout and no menu, but not really sure if this could be relevant to your question

Re: [SOLVED] Boot Is Too Slow (> 2m) at Loading Initial Ramdisk

Do you also have auto root login enabled?

Jun 22 22:11:47 Architype login[325]: ROOT LOGIN ON tty1

If the timing is correct that login was 18 seconds after startup.

No I haven't set up auto root.. but after I booted, I logged in as root and edited systemd.conf then rebooted, then logged in as secondary user where I ran the journalct -b -1 command.. is this helpful?

Re: [SOLVED] Boot Is Too Slow (> 2m) at Loading Initial Ramdisk

When I recommended 'journalclt -b - 1' I may have made things more complicated that it had to, since you would use that if your system crashes during boot, which isn't happening. In your case, it may be easier to explore 'journalctl -b 0', which is the logs from the *current* boot.

What loqs is saying is it looks like that the delay happens BEFORE the first entry in the journal. Because the time lapsed between the kernel start line and systemd reporting to be running in system mode is within the second. I think we're barking up the wrong tree with systemd, the delay happens before systemd kicks in.

Can you turn on Grub debug messages: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GR … g_messages and see what rolls by? Not sure if you can persist that to a log (I don't use Grub myself).

I had suspected that Grub is the cause of the issue, and you mentioning it has confirmed my doubts, I tried changing it to LILO before but with no success. I turned on the Debug mode in Grub and it just kept puking its heart out with nothing that I could undestand tbh. It also made the system unbootable, so I plugged in my Bootable ISO and chrooted into the system.. uninstalled Grub and installed Syslinux.

There's definitely significant change in the time between loading the kernel and booting Systemd. from 90s-ish to somewhere between 20s nad 40s. It's good, but still not perfect..

What I'm noticing now is that the boot hangs a little bit after showing this message:

Probing EDD (edd=off to disable)...ok

and then boots into systemd.

I'm looking into it now anf I'm guessing disabling EDD from kernel will hopefully fix but not really sure..

Re: [SOLVED] Boot Is Too Slow (> 2m) at Loading Initial Ramdisk

Quick Update

I found out that the delay has something to do with ACPI, when I turn it off using acpi=off, it boots after like 7s into systemd. However, systemd seems to be broken when I do this, it shows some random lines of code in places where they shouldn't be, and when I get to the login screen, it doesn't let me enter my login credentials, instead it keeps showing some hardware related informations.

Does anyone have a clue how to deal with this?

Re: [SOLVED] Boot Is Too Slow (> 2m) at Loading Initial Ramdisk

Pass "acpi.debug_layer=0x2 acpi.debug_level=0xffffffff earlyprintk=vga,keep log_buf_len=16" instead of quiet, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ge … bug_output

There're also more finegrained acpi values, see https://raw.githubusercontent.com/torva … meters.txt

Thanks for the tip. I'm going to call it quit for now, Syslinux reduced the delay to half and I'll take that as a win untill I get the energy to deal with this again. Thank you all for the help.

Re: [SOLVED] Boot Is Too Slow (> 2m) at Loading Initial Ramdisk

Update

It seems that the issue in essence has something to do with systemd. I switched to Runit and the whole boot process now takes 15s from start to login prompt.
