I’m having slow boot times on a new PC build. I’m running Garuda Dragonized on a custom built desktop. Generally performance has been solid except it’s slow boot time(from GRUB to logon prompt). Also has slow restore time from suspend/hibernate. It take 1+ minutes initrd and 20+ seconds for firmware.
I’ve never had any other OS on this build, so I don’t have a baseline, and it’s possible something is wrong with the build, but the system is otherwise stable and benchmarks seems fine.
I’m a Linux user on and off again for ~15 years. Mostly switching back to windows a bit for gaming. Primarily my experience has been with Ubuntu and Arch based system, but never Garuda before this build.
I’ve tried a number of different BIOS settings changes with no impact. I’ve updated the BIOS on my motherboard. I did solve slow post time on motherboard by enabling Memory Context Restore. Expo on/off doesn’t seem to impact slow OS boot.
Per: https://www.reddit.com/r/MSI_Gaming/comments/1ewucfj/msi_mag_x670e_tomahawk_wifi_gaming_motherboard/
Per my reading of systemd-analyze blame it looks like my nvme is slow to start. I checked my motherboard manual and it doesn’t seem like it’s sharing any bandwidth with my GPU in a different PCIe slot.
I thought maybe it was missing UUID from /etc/fstab per this(https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=320860), but it doesn’t appear to be.
I’d appreciate any help with troubleshooting this issue. I’ve included everything that seemed relevant, but let me know if any additional system information would be useful.
