Another with the eSATA device powered at POST, and with clock corrected for non-working NTP (0.5s shorter): http://fm.no-ip.com/Tmp/Linux/bootchart-big41-f18b.svg
Waiting on every login prompt on a tty is very annoying. Can they be configured to start at boot instead of on demand? When booting with 3 on cmdline it seems nuts that they don't.
Yes, you'd just have to adjust the systemd service config for getty@.service .
I've yet to stumble onto a reliable doc for dealing with that file, which is a symlink to /usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service. There is no man page for getty@.service or getty@tty1.service. I've seen bits here and there on getting tty1 to not clear, but I never manage to get it to not happen without multiple reconfiguration attempts, and reboots.
But the spawning should be just about instantaneous on any reasonable config. If you have to wait for the tty to appear that sounds like a bug.
It happens on Cauldron too, but the delay is much longer on F18. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
