It is a bit odd to see this with older kernel. My colleague suggest that this might has something to do with insufficient entropy on your system. As the "random: crng init done" took a while to complete.
In this case package "haveged" [1] might be helpful, can you install this package and see if it helps? Please run the following command after boot, before and after installing the haveged package: $ cat /proc/sys/kernel/random/entropy_avail This will shows you how much entropy your server has collected, and it helps to identify if the package can actually generate more entropy for you. For XFS filesystem, it looks like a bug indeed. In the end I created the following partitions to get it work: 1. ESP partition 2. EXT4 partition for /boot 3. XFS partition for / Thanks [1] https://linux.die.net/man/8/haveged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1821027 Title: Boot time increase since 4.15.0-46 on Dell G7 7588 Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hi Ubuntu Team, My laptop take more than 45 sec to boot up Ubuntu.
