So my pc takes a good 2m to start. I ran -
systemd-analyze blame
and turns out -
1min 30.101s systemd-modules-load.service
The status of systemd-modules-load.service is as follows -
sudo systemctl status systemd-modules-load.service
systemd-modules-load.service - Load Kernel Modules

I went digging into boot journal. The following catches the exact error. The uuid mentioned happens to be my /boot/local

Although, this happens to take the most amount of time.

Apart from that, one critical warning in boot journal was from nvidia-nvlink.

I’m unable to figure out what is causing this. I switched back to main kernel because my LTS kernel has issues with sound. I just replaced dkms nvidia to arch’s nvidia, if that will be useful. Although, the issue has been persisting from even before I started using LTS ( that was the reason I went to LTS ). Please help me determine the issue. Let me know if additional logs are required. Thanks in advance!
