I think it is not stopped but it is slowly loading the initrd which is much
bigger than the kernel which was slowly loaded (75.2 KiB/s) just before.

So, just wait some minutes. I would say 10 minutes or maybe more I am
afraid. :(

I do not know why load is so slow on u-boot for the Raspberry Pi.

I had the same problem and needed to wait 10 minutes before I could have
access via ssh. In my view the problem is the partitioning, which is done
initially. So it may take longer if you have a larger SD card.

Actually, there's a fix for this very annoying issue:
http://lists.denx.de/pipermail/u-boot/2015-June/216852.html
It's working just fine (1.4 MiB/s), but I haven't tested it thoroughly.
I'm currently trying to get it to build in my OBS project
to have a proper RPM, but OBS is pretty busy ATM.


Thanks for the link to this patch.
I can push this patch to our Factory u-boot packages once someone will have 
tested it.


Finally I tested it, and it works just fine (initrd load speed is 5.9 MiB/s !).

So, I updated our u-boot packages and we must wait that it reaches Factory. See:
https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/312513

To get some kernel output, append "console=tty0" to the bootargs line
in /boot/boot.script and use mkimage to generate the boot.scr file
for u-boot. Or just use the serial port, the serial console is active by 
default.


I think that there are kernel messages on screen too, by default. No?


Also, make sure that an initrd exists at all, one image I downloaded had
a broken initrd symlink.

Best of luck,
Fabian

Incidentally, a few week ago I saw this behaviour. I installed the LXQT
image and got stuck at the same place. I was blaming the SD card for the
low speed, so used another one. Same result, but the reported speed was
higher.

The IO speed reported during writing the image on my notebook was in
range of megabytes, though not the expected speed of the SD card under
streaming write.

Next I've tried the JEOS image, the messages were the same, but after
some time (up to 10 minutes iirc) the yast first boot screen appeared
and I've finished the installation.

My conclusion was a slow sd card and the amount of data being read
before the installation showed sign of progress. Doing a manual
installation of the GUI took a lot of time so it kind of supported the
conclusion.
