Slow boot Endeavour i3 "Starting Version 249.5-3-arch"

Looks about right - I have the same in my journal.

The other question is why the linked journal output doesn’t show the same thing - is it being viewed with admin rights (e.g. sudo journalctl -b0)?

Mine is much faster on kde! :wink:

[ricklinux@eos-kde ~]$ systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 15.298s (firmware) + 10.483s (loader) + 1.933s (kernel) + 1.722s (userspace) = 29.438s 
graphical.target reached after 996ms in userspace

No, you’re right, it was not.

No clue. Any idea how I can find out?

In my system I have 1 nvme drive, windows primary partition and ext4 partition (for storage)
1 HDD, only for storage, both linux and windows partitions.
1 SSD, Linux primary partition, only used for linux. OS on this one.

I tried removing my 2 storage options from fstab and pulling out everything (keyboard, mouse etc.) except for my monitors. Same result, slow boot. Ata5 is still present as you can see:

sudo dmesg | grep ata5
[    0.601603] ata5: SATA max UDMA/133 abar m131072@0xfce80000 port 0xfce80300 irq 45

[    2.044861] ata5.00: ATAPI: TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-S223C, SB04, max UDMA/100

This is a DVD drive. Does this drive work correctly?

Solved!

Wow… You telling me I have a DVD drive got me real confused.
But you’re right, I had an old one laying around and I installed it when I built this system.
Have never used it so I pulled it out and:

systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 16.750s (firmware) + 5.577s (loader) + 2.434s (kernel) + 1.635s (userspace) = 26.398s
graphical.target reached after 653ms in userspace

For anyone reading this in the future I solved my issue by just unplugging the CD drive from my system, I don’t need it anyways.

Thank you all who contributed, I got to see and learn a lot of things trying to troubleshoot this.
