Myself and @kamalmostafa spoke and the issue is not obvious especially as linux-azure is installed in the base image too which does not exhibit the issue.
Although not obvious @kamalmostafa did suspect the issue to lie somewhere with random number generation and a related package/kernel patch. One line of investigation is to check the package diff between the minimal image with initramfs-tools installed and the image without that installed. That diff is @ https://pastebin.canonical.com/p/7hJTSQHbyD/ Another possibility is to check the package diff between base and minimal. That diff is @ https://pastebin.canonical.com/p/B9m7GbsFhs/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1795017 Title: linux-azure on cosmic minimal image boot speed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-azure/+bug/1795017/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
