Description gottfried.mueller 2014-04-13 07:23:02 UTC

systemd-analyze shows a very strange loader time value (after every boot with similar values):

Startup finished in 584542y 2w 2d 20h 1min 31.278s (loader) + 5.550s (kernel) + 6.645s (userspace) = 12.196s

The same command in a virtualbox machine (at the same machine with the same os system state) do not show such a crazy value (without a loader time):

Startup finished in 5.103s (kernel) + 11.971s (userspace) = 17.075s

I use Sabayon/amd64

systemd-analyze --version
systemd 208
+PAM +LIBWRAP -AUDIT -SELINUX +IMA -SYSVINIT +LIBCRYPTSETUP -GCRYPT +ACL +XZ

Can you download systemd from git://git.freedesktop.org/git/systemd/systemd.git, compile it (no installation necessary), and run test-boot-timestamp, and post the output here? It's likely that your firmware is providing some stupid values...

I've got the same compile errors like below and I found no solution there:

This is fixed in version 209.

Nvm, for some reason I was thinking that this is the Fedora package.

Gottfried,
you need c51d84dc09476d9c06b8aac726220bf3c7d62e8d, 059cb3858acd038ff2cef10a3a99119bf71a8fc6, and probably a bunch of other commits found in git://git.freedesktop.org/git/systemd/systemd-stable v208-stable branch.
