/var/log/boot.msg

Since I installed openSUSE 11.0 the first time (I think it was Alpha2) I always noticed a strange 30 second delay in the boot process.

On openSUSE 10.3 it takes about 29 seconds from Grub to KDM login promt. On openSUSE 11.0 it takes 64 seconds on my system.

If I press ESC during the boot process to quit the bootsplash, I notice a 30 seconds delay between the lines:

> wmaster0 renamed to wmaster0_rename

and

> Loading required kernel modules

I'll attach my /var/log/boot.msg logfile. If I look at this one and search for 'wmaster0 renamed to wmaster0_rename' the next line is:
Adding 1542168k swap on /dev/sda5.  Priority:-1 extents:1 across:1542168k

/dev/sda5 is my swap partion. Could it be, that whatever this line means, it takes about 30 seconds to add this swap and that this is done on every reboot?

My system is a Lenovo ThinkPad T60p using openSUSE 11.0 Beta1 x86_64.

I had this issue to, until I did a factory update yesterday (23 04) giving me a new kernel (amongst others). So here it seems fixed!

Looks like a duplicate of Bug 371776

Comment 3 Jörg Hermsdorf 2008-04-24 11:16:49 UTC

Yes, after the update the problem is gone. I'm setting this to fixed.

/var/log/boot.msg with bluetooth on

this is when bluetooth is turned on - i.e., Bug 371776 is actually a duplicate of this one

Sorry to be a sack of jumping beans on this... but the delay issue is back on my laptop.

Boot is taking 1m-40s (was roughly 65 secs).  
There is a delay after I see my network driver (b44) getting loaded - then nothing happens (not even hd activity) for 25~30 seconds and the line 'Loading required kernel modules' is printed and the system resumes booting. There are no errors printed and I will attach my boot logs and dmesg output.

Can I reopen this bug or make a new one?  And what info is needed to further diagnose?

Cheers,
  Wj

Also as note : the delay was back after a fresh install using the Beta2 DVD iso.
