Slow boot times

Hi, I went from Windows 11 to Bazzite a while back. Maybe I messed up something when I checked all the disks in the installer, and later removed the software RAID0 between my SSDs and HDD. It now boots from a single SSD, with the other drives mounted elsewhere. It takes a good while to boot up now, enough for a trip to the toilet while I wait. This was not the case with Windows. Performs excellent once it's up and running though. I'm guessing it's related to the changes I made to the btrfs setup after installing, as the installer configured striping(?) between my 2TB SSD and 2TB HDD, and using another 500GB SSD purely for metadata. I removed the HDD and 500GB SSD from the pool, making the 2TB SSD the sole OS drive, and wiped the other ones with fresh partition. EFI partition still lives on the 500GB SSD, but I'm guessing that's not relevant to the issue. ChatGPT suggested I run systemd-analyze and systemd-analyze blame. 
~$ systemd-analyze
Startup finished in 31.597s (firmware) + 5.987s (loader) + 1.092s (kernel) + 2min 7.406s (initrd) + 17.761s (userspace) = 3min 3.844s 
graphical.target reached after 6.132s in userspace.
~$ systemd-analyze

systemd-analyze blame produced very long output, but seems the culprit is "dracut-initqueue.service".

Not sure where to go from here. Something's clearly just sitting around, waiting for 2 minutes without doing anything, until it times out and proceeds. Anyone knows how to fix?
