See my earlier mail about debugging boot times using bootchart. This
should at least help you understand why it takes 1 minute and help debug.

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 &quot;systemctl
disable plymouth-quit-wait.service&quot;

If you do not use LVM or anything else &quot;exotic&quot;, you can likely also
call &quot;systemctl disable udev-settle.service&quot; 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.
