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] Loading configured modules... /boot/kernel/filemon.ko text=0x1867 text=0x2558 data=0x510+0x20 syms=[0x8+0xd08+0x8+0x7c9] /etc/hostid size=0x25 /boot/kernel/umodem.ko text=0x2100 text=0x13a0 data=0x6d8+0x10 syms=[0x8+0xf18+0x8+0xb5c] loading required module 'ucom' /boot/kernel/ucom.ko text=0x2590 text=0x2f00 data=0x8e0+0x858 syms=[0x8+0x1290+0x8+0xbd5] /boot/entropy size=0x1000 Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.
