Kernel 5.4.2 slackware-current, 90 second pause while booting


This started yesterday. When booting, there comes a point where the boot process hangs for 90 seconds or so. The line before the pause varies according to which USB devices are connect:

Code:
Dec  7 01:09:01 zoot kernel: [   23.768033] input: UVC Camera (046d:0825) as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:07.1/0000:27:00.3/usb7/7-4/7-4.3/7-4.3:1.0/input/input20
Dec  7 01:09:01 zoot kernel: [   25.223242] usb 7-4.3: set resolution quirk: cval->res = 384
Dec  7 01:09:01 zoot kernel: [  102.031288] Adding 3980284k swap on /dev/sda2.  Priority:-2 extents:1 across:3980284k SSFS
Dec  7 01:09:01 zoot kernel: [  102.205573] EXT4-fs (sda1): re-mounted. Opts: (null)

Dec  8 08:06:37 zoot kernel: [   10.310494] hid-generic 0003:046D:C31C.0002: input,hidraw1: USB HID v1.10 Device [Logitech USB Keyboard] on usb-0000:03:00.0-12/input1
Dec  8 08:06:37 zoot kernel: [   10.315191] input: Microsoft Microsoft 5-Button Mouse with IntelliEye(TM) as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.3/0000:03:00.0/usb1/1-13/1-13:1.0/0003:045E:0039.0003/input/input17
Dec  8 08:06:37 zoot kernel: [   10.320090] hid-generic 0003:045E:0039.0003: input,hidraw2: USB HID v1.10 Mouse [Microsoft Microsoft 5-Button Mouse with IntelliEye(TM)] on usb-0000:03:00.0-13/input0
Dec  8 08:06:37 zoot kernel: [  102.042178] Adding 3980284k swap on /dev/sda2.  Priority:-2 extents:1 across:3980284k SSFS
Dec  8 08:06:37 zoot kernel: [  102.689224] EXT4-fs (sda1): re-mounted. Opts: (null)
Slackware-current, updated yesterday and that is when it started pausing while booting. Once it gets past this. Prior to this, from looking at older logs I see no delay before we jump from USB stuff to adding the swap:

Dec 2 07:00:03 zoot kernel: [ 11.391710] USB Video Class driver (1.1.1)
Dec 2 07:00:03 zoot kernel: [ 11.428049] Adding 3980284k swap on /dev/sda2. Priority:-2 extents:1 across:3980284k SSFS

Not really sure what changed, and honestly not sure how to tell what is causing the delay.

I downgraded to the 5.3 kernel, and the problem persists. I suspect it is not the kernel, but something that was pushed to current this last week. Anyone else seeing this?

Not at the moment. I'm running Slackware64-current on three desktops and three laptops. Perhaps a hardware issue? Idle speculation on my part. Best of luck sorting this out mate.

Dang.... IDK WTF this would be as the log doesn't have anything of interest in it. Something is timing out, and I just now noticed that the timeout stops at exactly 120 seconds. In ever run I'v logged, it pauses until it's been 120 seconds, regardless of what the prior log entry was.

Is there a way to roll back to whatever the state of "current" was a week or three ago? Any kind of check point that would give me everything up to a certain date?

Doesn't the log suggest it's a problem related to creating the swap file?

There are "timers" in init/lilo/grub... maybe worth a check?

it's been said here many times before, more or less you're on your own with current, more if everyone runs into something, less if you've been tinkering

seems like you'd have 'roll back' downgrade each package that's been upgraded since you last had something stable

There are a series of posts in "The Latest Kernel" thread starting with a post by SunnyJim that also detail a 2-minute pause. If you haven't already done so, Ook, maybe the back-and-forth there will give you an idea of something to check?

Kernel 5.4.2 is hanging on my HP p7-1410 with a i3-2130 as well on a fresh clean install.

The messages get to
Code:
[   13.554129] fb0: switching to inteldrmfb from VESA VGA
Then it just hangs. HDD light will blink every now and then, but nothing else.

I'm going to let it sit there, but it's been 5 minutes already.

@Skaendo

Issues with the Intel i915 driver were already reported in the kernel thread recently for 5.4.2:
https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ml#post6064852

Try booting your system with the following kernel boot parameter (it'll disable the Intel frame buffer - inteldrmfb):
Code:
i915.modeset=0

Thanks, but then I have to ask, Why are we using this half baked kernel?

The really laughy part is that it works just fine on my ancient GM965's.

I am having exactly the same issue (I have mentioned this elsewhere on these forums but seemed to be on my own!). And as in your case there is a stall after loading a USB device and adding swap, the stall occurring after '[ 10.915703] USB Video Class driver (1.1.1)'. I have arrowed in the stall line below:


Code:
[   10.911049] uvcvideo 1-2:1.0: Entity type for entity Camera 1 was not initialized!
[   10.912653] input: Logitech Webcam C930e as /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.1/0000:01:00.0/usb1/1-2/1-2:1.0/input/input18
[   10.914288] usbcore: registered new interface driver uvcvideo
[   10.915703] USB Video Class driver (1.1.1) <--------------------------------------------------
[  101.813168] Adding 4210772k swap on /dev/sda2.  Priority:-2 extents:1 across:4210772k SSFS
[  102.589244] EXT4-fs (sda1): re-mounted. Opts: (null)
[  102.809513] EXT4-fs (sdb1): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)
[  103.381576] usb 1-2: reset high-speed USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd
[  103.685655] Bluetooth: BNEP (Ethernet Emulation) ver 1.3
I also use Kernel 5.3.11 as a 'safe' kernel and there is no stall there. Curious... not a deal-breaker but an annoyance nevertheless..

Edit: Is your device a USB WebCam? My device is and we might be on the track of the issue if we have similar devices triggering a pause...

If it helps, mine is a desktop with no camera.

So, count on it being 5.4, unless something really bad happens
This seems really bad if you ask me.

I mean YAY my GM965's work again, but BOO they broke my i3.

Because the half baked stuff has a nasty habit of getting backported to the "stable" branch point releases anyway, so you're damned if you do, damned if you don't.
