Let's see them and investigate. https://daniel-lange.com/archives/152-Openssh-taking-minutes-to-become-available,-booting-takes-half-an-hour-...-because-your-server-waits-for-a-few-bytes-of-randomness.html https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=912087 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=912616 There's lots of chatter in the systemd github isses, too.

I've got an embedded x86-64 system where lightdm starts quickly when I am plugged into an ethernet connection, but takes about 8 minutes when the ethernet is disconnected. I am very suspicious of the low entropy in this case, too. -m
