It takes 3 to 4 minutes to boot. Why and how to fix it?

Hello everyone, since I installed openSUSE it took a bit more time than other distro to boot but that wasn’t much of a problem to me but now it take like 3 to 4 minutes to boot. There must be something wrong. What can I do to fix that and where can I look to see what’s causing that?

Thanks for the help.

Okay I just found a file that tell me what is happening at boot and here is what I have: http://pastebin.com/iwariRdy it’s like something is waiting.

[K[[0;1;31m TIME [0m] Timed out waiting for device dev-disk-by\x2duuid-9cd9484b\x2d8450\x2d4d09\x2dba59\x2d6999eb124841.device.
[0;1;33mDEPEND[0m] Dependency failed for /dev/disk/by-uuid/9cd9484b-8450-4d09-ba59-6999eb124841.
[0;1;33mDEPEND[0m] Dependency failed for Swap.

Looks like the system is waiting for a disk/partition, possibly a swap partition, that is no more connected to the system.
Maybe you reformatted / changed your disk or partitions?
Check file /etc/fstab and look in your boot command line for “resume=/dev/disk/by-uuid/xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx-xxx” by typing in a terminal:


dmesg |head

and check that the devices mentioned are actually in the list you get by typing:


ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid/

If not so, change /etc/fstab and/or the kernel command line accordingly.

I deleted the swap partition, added a new one and it added itself in the /etc/fstab and I removed the old one in /etc/fstab and now the problem is solved. Thanks

The culprit was in the ntp package, and has been fixed. Run ‘zypper dup’, reboot and you should see a normal boot time.

Yeah I knew that before so I downgraded it and now that there was a new update I updated it. Thanks
