Sorry, but the bug also happens with 4.15.0-23 I upgraded a PC with a SSD replacing a HDD. So this laptop now only has a SSD which obviously has no spinning part to produce entropy to seed the random generator.
Here is what happens: -1) not touching anything, there is a "30 seconds gap" (visible in dmesg) where nothing at all happens, then the boot sequence continues -2) touching the trackpad randomly during the boot sequence makes the random generator initialize quicker (message in dmesg) but there is still the 30 sec gap in spite of the message in the log -3) plugging an external spinning rust to USB fixes the issue! Now the system does not hang for 30 sec waiting anymore...

Also, for kernel maintainers, this is probably not obvious to spot since it shows more blatantly on a machine that has NO HDD at all. Usually I would assume a developer's machine (as mine) always has a SDD for big files that don't change often, and SSD for speed. Since you have a HDD (even unused for boot sequence) the problem don't show. Indeed, the fact to simply plug a spinning device to USB fixes the bug (note that plugging a "non-spinning" USB key does not fix anything, as expected!) The 3 dmesg shown above prove that the "fix" (plugging a spinning disk) reduces the boot sequence from 46 sec to 20 sec, saving around 25 seconds! So I hope kernel gurus will fix that soon so that I can enjoy the full speed of my brand new SSD! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1779827 Title: failure to boot with linux-image-4.15.0-24-generic Status in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in The Bionic Beaver: Confirmed Status in linux source package in Bionic: Fix Committed Bug description: This was the last OK then my 18.04 hangs after an update this morning. 07:00 AM CEST Last Ok in boot was Started gnome display manager. dispatcher service ...... tem changes.pp link was shut down Tried install lightdm from command line and the response was lastest already installed.
