I have a new PC with Windows 10 on the first SSD and I have installed Ubuntu 16.04 LTS on the second SSD.



On turning the PC on it takes ~30s before the PC beeps and then another 15s before we hit grub. After that it's quick. I have run dmesg and systemd-analyze blame and the reports there show the kernel is quick (~10s) so I think it's something pre-Ubuntu that is causing the issue. I have disabled fast boot in the UEFI BIOS.



The total boot time is ~1min and whilst I am happy to wait this long in general I am just keen to check it's not indicative of anything wrong with the install (i.e. I don't want to proceed then have to reinstall everything in a few months).



I appreciate this won't be enough to go on so appreciate any indication as to the best information to provide to diagnose.



Thanks,



Mark

  • You can use "systemd-analyze plot > file.svg" to generate graphic of the boot process; maybe check your UEFI/BIOS if it performs some sort of memory checking maybe 64GB ram takes this long.

  • Okay so this shows 30s in the firmware stage before we get to the Ubuntu kernel (which is fast after this). Any ideas from here? Thanks

  • Enabling CSM seems to halve the firmware bit but we're still ~20s to get to the Ubuntu loader.
