[Solved] System waits 2 minutes at boot

greg19 · 2024-04-05 18:39:10

During boot, I get a message:

[ * ] A start job is running for /dev/disk/by-uuid/272b357b-cee3-4d44-a25c-9e6e5ef02abe (1s / 2min)

After waiting for 2 minutes the system finally boots.

This UUID does not belong to any of my disks. In journalctl I found these lines:

archlinux systemd-hibernate-resume-generator[129]: Reported hibernation image: ID=arch kernel=6.6.2-arch1-1 UUID=272b357b-cee3-4d44-a25c-9e6e5ef02abe offset=0
archlinux systemd[1]: Expecting device /dev/disk/by-uuid/272b357b-cee3-4d44-a25c-9e6e5ef02abe...

My root, home and swap partitions are encrypted. The configuration is:

# /etc/crypttab
home         UUID=8bc89374-5493-4c71-8d0f-1ea3e8509156    /etc/home.key
swap         UUID=33cec9df-7820-4a70-9fa9-84fc2a9872cc    /dev/urandom            swap,cipher=aes-cbc-essiv:sha256,size=256

# /etc/fstab
UUID=AD02-D2C0                                  /boot       vfat        rw,relatime,fmask=0022,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro   0 2
/dev/mapper/home                                /home       ext4        rw,relatime 0 2
/dev/mapper/swap                                none        swap        defaults    0 0

# inside /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="rd.luks.name=6b426bc0-7418-42c3-ab5a-0f6c099e2b10=root rd.luks.options=fido2-device=auto root=/dev/mapper/root"

# inside /etc/mkinitcpio.conf
HOOKS=(base systemd autodetect microcode modconf kms keyboard sd-vconsole block sd-encrypt filesystems fsck)

My guess is that the system tried to hibernate and encrypted swap messed something up. I tried to search how to delete this hibernation image with no luck. How can I fix this issue?

Try to add "noresume" to the https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel_parameters

I case you've a parallel windows, see the 3rd link below. Mandatory.
Disable it (it's NOT the BIOS setting!) and reboot windows and linux twice for voodo reasons.

Arch Linux
