My laptop takes about a minute to boot Fedora, considerably slower than it takes to boot other operating systems. I’ve looked around on the forum and see that it’s a recurring issue but haven’t found anyone else where dracut-initqueue.service seems to be the culprit. I’ve had slow boot for some tim…

Could this be related to snapd? There are various opinions against using snaps. Try to replace it with flatpak if possible.

I’m having the same issue (after upgrading to Fedora 34). dracut-initqueue.service uses 1min 30s in my case. I have completely removed snapd, but unfortunately it didn’t help. Output from sudo service dracut-initqueue status after boot: Redirecting to /bin/systemctl status dracut-initqueue.service…

In the past, there seems to have been a bug with the 245 version of systemd; which version are y’all running? You can check with $ systemctl --version. There are also some dracut troubleshooting steps you can take to find out more.

That seems to be related to the following bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1976653 There a workaround that seems to work in there. I “fixed” the problem by downgrading dracut and forcing it to rebuild the initramfs file as described in the link.

same here, it is stuck for a minute or so: [5bf59330e44aa75f50890df715f0b90e72943215.jpeg] However, booting kernel 5.12.11 is fine, the problem only occurs with 5.12.12 and above

Same thing here. Last good kernel version was 5.12.11. Waiting for a fix, the following lines did the trick nicely: # cp /usr/lib/systemd/system/dbus-broker.service /etc/systemd/system/ # diff /usr/lib/systemd/system/dbus-broker.service /etc/systemd/system/dbus-broker.service 5c5 < After=dbus.sock…

Just wasted a whole bunch of hours trying every fix listed for this that I could find on the internet. Tried reinstalling the OS a couple times too. No luck. 90 second delay because dracut.initqueue. I restart very frequently, so this is a dealbreaker for me. Gotta abandon Fedora for now. Would love…

You are posting on a thread that is over a year closed and was for a user running fedora 33. Fedora 36 is the current release (with kernel 5.18.13) and soon approaching fedora 37. Things have changed drastically with the last 3 releases so please open your own thread and we will be glad to provide…

its verry weird to request new threads for identical error`s. I wil make a new thead.
