Slow boot times.

I’m using a Ryzen 9800X3D cpu with 32GB DDR5 6000 RAM, I have a Powercolor Hellhound 9070 XT gpu and I’m booting from a 2 TB WD BLACK SN850X M.2.

Booting from a full shutdown or restart takes 1:45 or longer.

Pressing esc during boot gives me this error and hangs for about 50 seconds before finally booting (with a few systemd errors).

lsusb doesn’t show me anything weird. I only have three devices plugged in: my keyboard, my mouse and my RGB speakers (ignore the PS5 controller, it was only plugged in to test connectivity since Bluetooth wasn’t working. Booting was slow before it was plugged in).

journalctl -f also doesn’t show anything weird.

I tried rebooting with each device unplugged, one at a time, and a reboot with all devices unplugged at once and the same thing happened.

Solution
Try running
systemd-analyze blame
systemd-analyze blame
which will show which services are taking long to start up. You can get much more details by running
systemd-analyze plot > ~/boot-times.svg
systemd-analyze plot > ~/boot-times.svg
which will make an svg image in your home folder with a plot of the boot time with lots of details
