Today I've upgraded from 11.4/Tumbleweed to Factory using zypper dup.

The system is booting normally, but the boot-process is much slower as it was in 11.4. Also plasma-desktop is reacting unusable slow, it reacts just once every few seconds, and the harddisk is accessed permanently. The whole system is reacting slow. If I look in the systemlog the following lines are written every few seconds:

Oct  9 21:52:25 tuxshome dbus[1760]: [system] Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.Hal': timed out
Oct  9 21:52:25 tuxshome dbus-daemon[1760]: dbus[1760]: [system] Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.Hal': timed out
Oct  9 21:52:26 tuxshome dbus[1760]: [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.Hal' (using servicehelper)
Oct  9 21:52:26 tuxshome dbus-daemon[1760]: dbus[1760]: [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.Hal' (using servicehelper)
Oct  9 21:52:26 tuxshome systemd[1]: Cannot add dependency job for unit hwclock-load.service, ignoring: Unit hwclock-load.service failed to load: No such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status hwclock-load.service' for details.

I've added the messages from the bootprecess.

Reproducible: Always

The message about hwclock-load.service could be solved by removing /etc/systemd/system/sysinit.target.wants/hwclock-load.service, it was a dead link. But I have no idea if this is the correct fix.

The message about hal disappeared after removing the hal-packages. After a reboot the system (and plasma) was working fast again. This should be removed by zypper dup automatically.

But the startup of the system is still noticeable slower than 11.4 :(

this looks like a dup of 715467

KDE way of starting dbus services doesn't seem to play well when dbus service autostart is offloaded to systemd.
