linux-5.4.6 2-minute pause on boot
by SunnyJim from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4WYHZ)
agba was suggesting i start a new thread concerning this problem, which seems to have
started when slackware-current started using the 5.4 series kernel. First off the graphics
crapped out necessitating the use of nomodeset in my /etc/default/grub file and that helped,
than i found the boot up paused for two minutes at about the point eth0 initialized (e1000e)
and i thought it was the driver, no sorry it didn't seem so because i tried blacklisting the
driver and still obtained a 2 minute pause.
My motherboard is an asus rog strix z390-e gaming motherboard with an nvidia rtx 2060
graphics card. I am also running linux-5.4.6 kernel as of now. on my slackware-current
and i dual boot slackware-14.2 64 bit multi-lib which has no problem running on this systems
hardware with a linux kernel 4.4.202.
If any one has any suggestions or ideas on how to resolve this issue it might help slackware-current developement. Maybe it was too soon to to go to a 5.4 series kernel,
than again this is slackware-current after all.
