How can I make the boot messages visible during the boot process?
Deleting the boot parameter “quite” does nothing, I only see a black screen with the Manjaro logo for about 1 minute until the KDE login appears. This takes much too long, I suspect one or more processes hang during booting.
Is there a way to trace the boot process (perhaps via dmesg or jourmalctl), including the required times?
@cscs: Thanks for the detailed answer, I’ll take a closer look at this.
@ben75: “quite” was a typo. For the first times of booting I’ve deleted the parameter directly in grub menu.
Edit: After deleting “splash” and “quiet” I found the error immediately. It was the swap partition with an invalid UUID in fstab. So the timeout of 1:30 had to be waited for.
