Subject:   Loader pauses on Pi4 without input
Message-ID:  <20220211171714.GA33662@www.zefox.net>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
A Pi4 running -current updated yesterday boots fine from a
USB hard disk, but for some reason pauses at the loader prompt
despite not getting any input on the serial console. There is a
monitor/keyboard connected, but the monitor is powered off and
the keyboard is out of reach, so I didn't bump it.

Is there a software switch somewhere that controls this
behavior? Eventually I'll want the machine to come up
hands-off, though for now there's no harm in typing the
boot command. 

Here's a snippet of serial console output:

Loading kernel...
/boot/kernel/kernel text=0x2a8 text=0x84ad60 text=0x247fd4 data=0x1b92a8 data=0x0+0x40d000 syms=[0x8+0x1331a0+0x8+0x15a6c1]

/etc/hostid size=0x25
/boot/kernel/umodem.ko text=0x2100 text=0x13a0 data=0x6d8+0x10 syms=[0x8+0xf18+0x8+0xb5c]

/boot/entropy size=0x1000

Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.

OK boot

Thanks for reading, and any hints.
