Due to the lack of crystal balls, attach the output of lspci -nnk if you encounter hardware problems.

SOLVED - long boot time

Unread post by dkeg » Tue Jun 18, 2013 3:21 am

running bloat i686 on an acer aspire timelinex i3,Intel Core i3 CPU M 350 @ 2.27GHz
so everything was fine until just the other day. Not sure really what is new or what could have affected it, but all of the sudden there is a delay in booting (<15s to >90s). Its not anything to do with network as I don't have the wireless or eth load automatically. I booted into Kielbasa partition and same thing, so couldn't be from a recent update (?). I installed bloat onto another partition and that boot was totally fine. Here is the dmesg and the dmesg.0.

Keep in mind I don't start wireless until after boot

Definitely need some help on this one. I've tried to search, but I'm not really sure what to search for. Maybe you guys will see something in dmesg.

EDIT: kernel -> Linux bloat 3.10-rc6-experimental-686-pae, but booted into older kernels (3.9-3 and 4) with same results

I can give out more info, whatever you need.

You can check

Code: Select all

sudo systemd-analyze blame
for what is delaying the boot after the kernel has been loaded.

According to dmesg the delay happens here:
[ 13.427761] intel ips 0000:00:1f.6: i915 driver attached, reenabling gpu turbo
[ 115.089559] brcmsmac bcma0:0: brcms_ops_bss_info_changed: qos enabled: false (implement)
which points at the wireless adapter.

Possibly systemd does its forced filesystem check for a new partition, or the entries in /etc/fstab don't fit the blkid output. Can you compare them?

ah, that may be it. fstab and blkid are different. let me match fstab to blkid and check.

Dude, that was it. I did make partition changes. I had not considered the UUIDS would have changed. Seems obvious now, but wasn't clear until now. Good learning experience though. Real glad it's fixed. Thank you!
