I have setup my laptop with Ubuntu 11.04. I bought a fresh SSD, and expected the startup time at <30 seconds but it takes about 3-5 minutes.

I have taken a snapshop using bootchart but I don't know exactly how to read it:

For me, it looks like modprobe is running in some sort of timeout - but where can I check this?

The boot from dmesg:

Have a look at this bug report: tpm_tis 00:0a: tpm_transmit: tpm_send: error -62 (for Fedora, but since it's kernel related could apply to Ubuntu).

The workaround for the issue seems to be to add

tpm_tis.interrupts=0

to the kernel command line.

(If that doesn't work for you, make sure you have the latest update of the Ubuntu kernel installed.)

That did not work.. – Andreas Petersson May 21 '11 at 10:41
do you have the latest ubuntu kernel? did the dmesg output change at all? – Mat May 21 '11 at 10:42

apparently one driver (tpm_tis) was blocking the startup. i tried editing /etc/default/grub

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash tpm_tis.interrupts=0"

but this did not work, dmesg did the same output.

but then i disabled the module tpm_tis alltogether by adding

blacklist tpm_tis

to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf this pushed startup down to 17s after bios - 31 seconds from cold start
