Screenshot when startup pauses on 'Starting Load Randam Seed'

Description of problem:
Startup pauses for a moment, about two minutes, when showing 'Starting Load Randam Seed'.

A screenshot attached.

Host is Aspire One A110, with Intel Atom N270.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
systemd-24-1.fc15.i686
kernel-2.6.38.2-9.fc15.i686
dracut-009-5.fc15.noarch
Comment 1 Lennart Poettering 2011-04-12 18:34:06 UTC 
Uh we start most stuff in parallel, the last line printed does not mean that it is the source of the problem, but maybe just something that was started at the same time as the problematic service.

Please boot with "systemd.log_level=debug" and "systemd.log_target=kmsg" on the kernel command line. Then, let the failing service timeout, login and attach the contents of "dmesg" here. Thanks!

dmesg output

"Job dev-mapper-vg_cheesea110\x2dLogVol01.device/start timed out."

This is because we are waiting for a swap device by the name of "dev-mapper-vg_cheesea110\x2dLogVol01.swap" to show up, but it doesn't, and eventually we timeout after 3min.

Most likely you have a wrong /etc/fstab line for this swap? Can you check?

my /etc/fstab

I never edit /etc/fstab since generated by anaconda when I installed Fedora 13.

The swap partition is not mounted after booting with such pause. And if I run 'sudo swapon -a' after system booted, it is mounted as usual.

If I comment out the swap partition line of /etc/fstab, then system boots smoothly.

from dmesg:
  [    1.770043] dracut: dracut-008-7.fc15

"dracut -f" will likely fix it for you.
Comment 6 Lennart Poettering 2011-04-27 15:06:13 UTC 
Please try dracut -f, reboot and report back!
Comment 7 Robin Lee 2011-04-27 19:45:08 UTC 
Yes. 'dracut -f' works.
Comment 8 Lennart Poettering 2011-04-27 22:40:27 UTC 
OK, closing this then. It's not a systemd bug, and for normal F14 upgrades this should work fine.
Comment 9 Robin Lee 2011-04-28 02:00:48 UTC 
Thanks!
