Good morning,
My Fedora system takes about 2 minutes to boot and I’m not sure what is causing the delay.
I’m using an SK hynix SC308 SATA SSD, so I expected faster startup times.
Here are my systemd-analyze results:
Startup finished in 8.516s (firmware) + 4.983s (loader) + 1.821s (kernel) + 46.469s (initrd) + 1min 1.565s (userspace) = 2min 3.356s
graphical.target reached after 1min 1.564s in userspace.
Any ideas what could be causing the delay?

Could you also post the outputs of:
systemd-analyze critical-chain
systemd-analyze --no-pager blame
As pre-formatted text </>
Thanks

Looks like TPM may be responsible for quite a bit of the slowness there.
You could try editing the kernel command line in GRUB to see if it helps:
I had this on a system with TPM 1.2. Adding systemd.tpm2_wait=false to the kernel command line reduced boot time by 40 seconds.
Then if that works, make the change permanent using grubby. (Or an alternative may be sudo systemctl mask tpm2.target.)

Thank You a lot! Now it starts almost immediately!
