slow boot: normal or configuration problem?

<< < (3/5) > >>

GNUser:
The "inteldrmfb" lines in the two dmesg outputs appear to be identical. Maybe this is not a graphics issue at all and the fact that the delay in TCL happens after that line is just a coincidence? Just playing devil's advocate.

Take a look at Reply #5 above. Is there a way to log more details regarding what's going on between timestamps 7.06 and 16.7?

GNUser:
I found the same *ERROR* CPU pipe A FIFO underrun in Devuan's dmesg, so that error is probably not related to the cause of the delay.

The first difficulty here is that we don't know which warnings/errors are related to the delay and which ones are red herrings :-\

Hi GNUser
Here's a long shot. I found references to the random number generator causing delays because it wasn't ready. Fontconfigs
fc-cache  command was listed as one of the culprits that triggered it. Unpack  fontconfig.tcz  and delete:

--- Code: ---/usr/local/tce.installed/fontconfig
--- End code ---
Repack the extension and delete the  md5.txt  file. Create a file in your  ~/.X.d  directory containing:

--- Code: ---fc-cache -sfv 1>/dev/null &
--- End code ---

GNUser:
You're on to something!

I did as you suggested and tried booting with the minimal onboot.lst...

...the boot completed very quickly (about 7 seconds), but it boots to a black screen (no panel, no cursor, no nothing). I need to switch to vt-1 in order to use the command prompt and reboot.

Hi GNUser
Maybe try placing:

--- Code: ---fc-cache -sfv 1>/dev/null
--- End code ---
in your  bootlocal.sh ?
