As for the longer delay, I'm not 100% sure. I don't know much about the radeon drivers, but it would be easy enough to tell your plymouth-quit-wait.service to not start which might help "systemctl disable plymouth-quit-wait.service" If you do not use LVM or anything else "exotic", you can likely also call "systemctl disable udev-settle.service" too which might speed up your boot. Not got an immediate ideas yet, as I've been out the loop for the last week or so getting my head down at work. Col
OK, after the latest fresh install, I booted a rescue disk, chroot'ed to the mounted new root partition, and disabled those two services. The first boot of the new system still got the looong delay.
One thing I noticed is that the Mageia splashscreen comes up initially, disappears after a few seconds as if X is going to come up, the screen then goes from dark-blank to pitch-dark, and then the splashscreen comes back. It is then that the slooow progression of the progress dots begins.
On the second boot, there is no reappearance of the splashscreen.
