Long Boot / Shutdown Time kde neon developer

[dbergst]

I've been experiencing a long delay from the time grub loads the OS as well as during shutdown. Attached is a compressed log file for the virtual machine in question. Any suggestions on how to reduce the delay would be appreciated.

It turns out this was not a virtualbox issue but due to a configuration problem with my initrd, which was overly large. To resolve it I edited /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf and set "MODULES=dep" plus the file format was changed to lzma. After running sudo update-initramfs -k all -u and update-grub I rebooted to verify my boot time was reduced.

As a result this change reduced the delay time loading the initramfs from several minutes to about 30 seconds.
