Joaho Posted January 15, 2021 Posted January 15, 2021 I have read the other thread about this. If that one would not be closed I would have posted in there. My boottime is around 45 seconds and I would like to have it (much) faster. I run the V 20.11.06 Buster current 5.9.14 on two RockPi's 4 A with uBoot, NVME and no SD-card. I bought the TTL-Cable and it gives a lot, but the pause I am complaining about is entierly after all of that. The pause comes when minicom says "Rockpi4 Login:". The RockPi seems still to be "booting", black screen on and of, NVME Led blinking burst from time to time (no pattern), for ~15 seconds. Then I get the red Logo with the circling dots, they circle 7-8 times and only then the desktop. I did the blame thing: 15.035s bootsplash-hide-when-booted.service 9.205s armbian-hardware-optimize.service 3.656s armbian-zram-config.service 2.717s logrotate.service 2.148s armbian-ramlog.service 1.054s dev-nvme0n1p1.device I disabeled the "hide-bootsplash" one, no progress, as I thought anyway And the "critical chain": graphical.target @16.990s └─multi-user.target @16.989s └─sysfsutils.service @16.897s +82ms └─cpufrequtils.service @16.633s +259ms └─loadcpufreq.service @16.431s +198ms └─basic.target @16.311s └─armbian-hardware-optimize.service @7.105s +9.205s └─sysinit.target @7.094s └─systemd-update-utmp.service @7.047s +34ms └─systemd-tmpfiles-setup.service @6.973s +55ms └─systemd-journal-flush.service @6.909s +58ms └─systemd-journald.service @6.751s +133ms └─armbian-ramlog.service @4.600s +2.148s └─var-log.mount @4.684s └─dev-zram1.device @1.717s Now my questions: Am I the only one with that? I found only that one other thread. Is there something put to quiet so that minicom doesnt bring anything after that login? What else could I do to find out more? Thanks for your time!

Joaho Posted January 20, 2021 Author Posted January 20, 2021 I have understood one thing: an issue can be related to the RockPi or to Armbian or to Debian The Debian related things I found on Debian forum. Posting here is NOT "accusing" Armbian of "having bugs", it is the hope of finding someone who had this before and knows what to do. I disabled those two: armbian-zram-config.service armbian-ramlog.service and I disabled this one: armbian-hardware-optimize.service I don´t know, what it´s doing but it does not seem to be missing. Progress: The screen with the red logo and the circling dots is not shown anymore at all! There is only one hickup left, it takes 9 seconds. I had to put verbosity to 7 to see that one. It is clearly holding up the boot, the rockpi is not doing anything in that timespan. There are two lines like that, the first one is hid-generic 0003:0A81:0205.0003: input, hidraw2: USB HID v1.10 Mo1 and takes 1/100th of a second, happy with that the second one is hid-generic 0003:0A81:0205.0004: input, hidraw3: USB HID v1.10 Mo1 and takes 9.1 seconds. I think it´s about USB, keyboard and mouse. My mouse is on a USB2 in the keyboard and that is on a USB2 on the rockPi. The other USB2 is the power for the HDMI to VGA adapter. Nothing in the USB3 Ports. Does anybody have a tip about that?

Well, systemd offers some diagnose options: systemd-analyze time systemd-analyze plot > RockPi_boottime-$(date +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S).svg systemctl list-jobs to see active jobs Please take a fresh install to do the test - not to miss any improvements.
