Very slow boot on Fedora 43 - seeking advice

warks · February 28, 2026, 11:50am

Hello everyone,

I’m hoping to get some guidance on an unusually slow boot on my Fedora system. I’ve gathered some information below and would appreciate any insights or suggestions.

Fedora Version and Kernel:
Fedora release 43
Kernel: 6.18.12-200.fc43.x86_64

Hardware:

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X
1T HDD
Boot drive : 2T NVMe SSD Samsung 990 PRO

NAME        ROTA   SIZE TYPE MOUNTPOINT
sda            0 931.5G disk 
└─sda1         0 931.5G part /media/Data
zram0          0     8G disk [SWAP]
nvme0n1        0   1.8T disk 
├─nvme0n1p1    0   600M part /boot/efi
├─nvme0n1p2    0     1G part /boot
└─nvme0n1p3    0   1.8T part /home

Boot time summary:
Startup finished in 26.211s (firmware) + 1.879s (loader) + 1.871s (kernel) + 46.614s (initrd) + 4.759s (userspace) = 1min 21.336s
graphical.target reached after 4.759s in userspace.

On my first search, I ended up in a rabbit hole about Samsung 990 Pro issues. It lead me to update my SSD firmware and add this kernel parameter : nvme_core.default_ps_max_latency_us=0

After reasearching on the forum, I also tried to add : systemd.tpm2_wait=false

I haven’t seen any major improvement from these, so i’m turning to you for guidance.

Thank you in advance for your time and help.

Can’t view the hi-res image you post to imgur, as it’s region blocked (I’m in the UK)

However, from the chain (preformatted </> text would have preserved the formatting) your boot process slows down as soon as you get to the firewall/networking aspect. Do you really need networking to be up before getting to the login manager?

If not, sudo systemctl disable NetworkManager-wait-online.service

If this causes you problems, you can reverse the change with enable.

Thank you for your answer, I’ve edited my post and provided a new link to the bootchart, hopefully this one will work : https://i.postimg.cc/z5hZF8L3/bootchart.png
I’ll try you proposition right away. Thank you again
Edit : Unfortunately, this didn’t solve the main 45s second issue

That image is too small to be readable.

You might try posting the .svg text file that is produced by systemd-analyze instead of the image and our browsers will be able to display the image.

I have the same model of SSD and do not have this option.
Unless you see a noticable speed up I recommend you remove it.

warks · February 28, 2026, 5:53pm

It looks good on my end, but I have to right click → open in a new link:
Otherwise he is the same info from systemd-analyze blame

The svg file is produced with `systemd-analyze plot > <filename>.svg and it produces a text .svg file that can be opened by the browser (and is scaled by the browser window size).

warks · February 28, 2026, 6:50pm

Where do you upload an svg ? Most image uploader convert it to jpg.
The only I could find is this one, but the interface is terrible : https://www.svgviewer.dev/s/uT3Pmawy
There is a download link at the bottom-right.
Thank you for yoir patience.

I have a like-980 (PM9A1) and use that option seemingly no problems

Did it start booting slow after an update somewhere, or did it always take about that long since Fedora install?

I’m not sure what controls the disk loading speed, but my dev-disk stuff seemingly happens in 1-2s (way less than 40s)

systemd-analyze

Startup finished in 3.859s (firmware) + 555ms (loader) + 330ms (kernel) + 1.378s (initrd) + 2.457s (userspace) = 8.581s

An svg is just a text file. Any pastebin will be fine.

It might not hurt to also post the logs..
uptime -s
to get the boot time
Then use the boot time to get the first 1 minute or so of the logs.
journalctl --no-hostname --no-pager -l -b0 --since=14:46:00 --until=14:47:00
The above is an example from my machine ..

Thanks

Edit:
This will also work
journalctl --no-pager --no-hostname -b0 -U "$(date -d "$(uptime -s) 1 minutes" +'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S')"

Did you sevice compile a driver?
Is that the slow down cause?
