Bootstrap too slowly

[listar]

Fedora 15.

It takes about 1 more minute to boot my Fedora 15, please help me.

Thanks in advance.

Here is the result of systemd-analyze:

Startup finished in 1929ms (kernel) + 184241ms (initrd) + 85178ms (userspace) = 271350ms

Here is the boot log:

udevadm settle - timeout of 180 seconds reached, the event queue contains:

I have shorten the timeout to 30ms using the following command:
udevadm settle --timeout=30

[pfnuesel]

There will be much more helpful comments than I can add but maybe it would be helpful to type

dmesg

in order to see what causes the slow boot.

The attachment file is the dmesg output.

Thank you for your attention.

So dmesg prints your kernel output during the boot process. The numbers you have in brackets in front of every line tells you how long it took for the particular command to be executed (in seconds).

If you check your output you see that you have four bigger jumps,

[    2.302856] scsi 4:0:0:0: CD-ROM            PIONEER  DVD-ROM DVD-130P 1.02 PQ: 0 ANSI: 5

[  249.824051] ata5.00: limiting speed to PIO4

and all the jumps are caused by your ata5.00 device. So you might detach that DVD-ROM from your system and see if it helps. Did you change anything on that drive?

This is about as far as I can help you, for suggestions about how to solve the problem with this drive, I hope more experienced user will be able to help you.

udevd is having troubles setting up a device file (in /dev) for this cd/dvd device.
I don't know if there is a problem with the hardware itself, or the device driver.
Like pfnuesel says, I bet it will boot faster if you detach the dvd device.

Thanks a lot. I have done nothing on my DVD-ROM. I will detach it right now and reboot system to see what happens.

Thanks for your advice. The dvd-rom may work fine, because I can use it. I try to detach dvd-rom from Fedora and have a try.
