Don't you need an entry for the /efi partition as well?
What's the bootloader?

The link seth pointed you to How to upload textfiles covers piping to a pastebin.  Remember to filter the journal to a single boot.

The last systemd analyze critical chain showed 13 seconds to graphical.target,  from the original systemd analyze an additional 8 seconds was spent in graphical.target,  is 21 seconds roughly accurate for current boot time?

Ok thanks..this is my journactl -b output: http://ix.io/2PeQ

I gave the "bsdtar -Oxf /boot/intel-ucode.img | iucode_tool -tb -lS -" command to see if there's un update and here's the output:

Re: [SOLVED] Arch boot is too slow. Windows 10 boots faster.

how do I reput efi partition and swap partition on fstab?

Preferably with a text editor…

There're no apparent errors or stalls in the journal, the system just moves at rather glacial pace.

feb 13 06:14:56 Arch-Linux kernel: Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=ac89ab0d-4661-49e0-9974-d4ce498f4501 rw loglevel=3 quiet i915.i915_enable_rc6=7 i915.i915_enable_fbc=1 i915.lvds_downclock=1 i915.semaphores=1 drm.vblankoffdelay=1

Where does that nonsense come from? How did you install archlinux? Which tutorial did you follow?

That's not something you really need to have in your /etc/default/grub

Re: [SOLVED] Arch boot is too slow. Windows 10 boots faster.

I've added swap partition on fstab

Re: [SOLVED] Arch boot is too slow. Windows 10 boots faster.

It's also "i915.enable_fbc=1" (but that's indeed wrong in the wiki and idk. whether the module is maybe indeed smart enough to ignore the leading "i915_")

The system still seems to take its time - it looks like either the HDD or the CPU is just slow.
Please post an updated journal w/ the early µcode load and you may also want to measure the performance of the HDD and the CPU.

Edit /etc/default/grub with your favourite text editor and then regenerate grub.cfg
Something like that:

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

- delete everything in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="" but two parameters:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="loglevel=3 quiet"

Then edit GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="" to look like this:

Re: [SOLVED] Arch boot is too slow. Windows 10 boots faster.

You could check your mkinitcpio configuration ?
If you change something, remember to regenerate images...and have Arch Live CD available if some problems (not booting) occurs.

Here's what I have in my desktop computer (Intel Xeon L5420, Asus P5K).
I guess some differences might occur, depending on computer system/configuration.
But perhaps there is something extra, which is not needed.

/etc/mkinitcpio.conf
-----
MODULES="crc32_generic crc32_pclmul libcrc32c crc32c_generic crc32c-intel"
BINARIES=""
FILES=""
HOOKS="base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems keyboard fsck"

No compression (entries disabled by #).

I followed the wiki and the only thing I put on mkinitcpio.conf is "intel_agp i915" in modules. And I also regenerated the image

He did that's exactly the output I'd expect to see when changing these options including the incorrect i915.i915 from your initial suggestion.

You can't remove the bolded part that defines which linux image and which root device to load

Re: [SOLVED] Arch boot is too slow. Windows 10 boots faster.

You can use dd to measure the disk performance (read/write from /dev/zero and into /dev/null) and for a start "cpupower frequency-info" to see whether your CPU hangs in a low frequency.
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CP … g#cpupower

Edit: the updated journal does not suggest an early microcode load.
