Slow Boot Time (firmware)

masca · 27 October 2020 19:19

Hi!
I am writing because the boot time of my machine is somewhat unbearable. It used to be quite fast: something must have gone wrong somewhere.

I am trying to understand what might be wrong, with little success.

I have run the command

systemd-analyze

to otbain the following output:

Startup finished in 2min 56.979s (firmware) + 10.877s (loader) + 1min 3.445s (kernel) + 9.955s (userspace) = 4min 21.258s 
graphical.target reached after 2.646s in userspace

Could someone please help?

Thanks in advance!

Can you post some more information about your system?

masca · 27 October 2020 19:36

Yes!

Here is the output I have obtained running the command:

Howdy!

Could you please provide me the output of udevadm info --attribute-walk -n /dev/sda1 | grep 'DRIVERS=="[^"]' , please?

masca · 27 October 2020 23:57

Weirdly enough, I did run the command to obtain

Unknown device "/dev/sda1": No such file or directory

The_Quantum_Alpha · 28 October 2020 00:00

On which partition is installed your system, may I ask?

cscs · 28 October 2020 00:44

btrfs it seems

The_Quantum_Alpha · 28 October 2020 02:04

Hm, please try udevadm info --attribute-walk -n /dev/nvme0n1p3 | grep 'DRIVERS=="[^"]'

masca · 28 October 2020 17:22

Sure thing!

There it is:

udevadm info --attribute-walk -n /dev/nvme0n1p3 | grep 'DRIVERS=="[^"]'              andrea@andrea
    DRIVERS=="nvme"
    DRIVERS=="pcieport"

(Also, I am aware of the fact that my current configuration is a quite idiotic)

The_Quantum_Alpha · 28 October 2020 17:24

Oh, can you also provide me the output of cat /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and mkinitcpio -M , please?

Oh! And lsblk!!

masca · 28 October 2020 17:41

Of course!

Output

`cat /etc/mkinitcpio.conf`

# vim:set ft=sh
# MODULES
# The following modules are loaded before any boot hooks are
# run.  Advanced users may wish to specify all system modules
# in this array.  For instance:
#     MODULES=(piix ide_disk reiserfs)
MODULES=()

# BINARIES
# This setting includes any additional binaries a given user may
# wish into the CPIO image.  This is run last, so it may be used to
# override the actual binaries included by a given hook
# BINARIES are dependency parsed, so you may safely ignore libraries
BINARIES=()

# FILES
# This setting is similar to BINARIES above, however, files are added
# as-is and are not parsed in any way.  This is useful for config files.
FILES=()

# HOOKS
# This is the most important setting in this file.  The HOOKS control the
# modules and scripts added to the image, and what happens at boot time.
# Order is important, and it is recommended that you do not change the
# order in which HOOKS are added.  Run 'mkinitcpio -H <hook name>' for
# help on a given hook.
# 'base' is _required_ unless you know precisely what you are doing.
# 'udev' is _required_ in order to automatically load modules
# 'filesystems' is _required_ unless you specify your fs modules in MODULES
# Examples:
##   This setup specifies all modules in the MODULES setting above.
##   No raid, lvm2, or encrypted root is needed.
#    HOOKS=(base)
#
##   This setup will autodetect all modules for your system and should
##   work as a sane default
#    HOOKS=(base udev autodetect block filesystems)
#
##   This setup will generate a 'full' image which supports most systems.
##   No autodetection is done.
#    HOOKS=(base udev block filesystems)
#
##   This setup assembles a pata mdadm array with an encrypted root FS.
##   Note: See 'mkinitcpio -H mdadm' for more information on raid devices.
#    HOOKS=(base udev block mdadm encrypt filesystems)
#
##   This setup loads an lvm2 volume group on a usb device.
#    HOOKS=(base udev block lvm2 filesystems)
#
##   NOTE: If you have /usr on a separate partition, you MUST include the
#    usr, fsck and shutdown hooks.
HOOKS=(base udev autodetect modconf block filesystems keyboard)

# COMPRESSION
# Use this to compress the initramfs image. By default, gzip compression
# is used. Use 'cat' to create an uncompressed image.
#COMPRESSION="gzip"
#COMPRESSION="bzip2"
#COMPRESSION="lzma"
#COMPRESSION="xz"
#COMPRESSION="lzop"
#COMPRESSION="lz4"

# COMPRESSION_OPTIONS
# Additional options for the compressor
#COMPRESSION_OPTIONS=()

As you can see, there’s plenty of unused space. As I am a newbie, I am still trying to work my way out of btrfs, lvm and snapshots!

The_Quantum_Alpha · 28 October 2020 17:49

Thank you!!

One last thing, will also need sudo lspci -vk please !

masca · 28 October 2020 17:50

There you go:

sudo lspci -vk                                                                       andrea@andrea

Hm, are you on btrfs or ext4, may I ask?

openminded · 28 October 2020 18:13

First thing I would check is if any external USB devices are connected (like hubs and so on).

masca · 28 October 2020 18:17

I am on btrfs!

masca · 28 October 2020 18:21

You mean as in connected and working?

The_Quantum_Alpha · 28 October 2020 18:31

Okay, please enter sudo nano /etc/mkinitcpio.conf and add nvme pcieport ahci xhci_pci btrfs to the line starting by MODULES=( , so it looks like MODULES=(nvme pcieport ahci xhci_pci btrfs).

Next, go completely to the bottom, and add COMPRESSION="cat" , then hit ctrl +s to save then ctrl + x to exit.

Finally, execute sudo mkinitcpio -P in the terminal, followed by sudo update-grub !
Reboot!!

I hope this may help!

masca · 28 October 2020 18:43

Ah! There is an error:
==> ERROR: module not found: `pcieport'
I guess I will try to install it!

The_Quantum_Alpha · 28 October 2020 18:44

Yeah, seems those modules are missing

Just for confirmation, could you please repeat the steps I gave above, but omitting nvme and pcieport please?
