I booted the Leap 16.0 image and it took about 75 seconds to get the following
text on the screen (I tried to upload the taken picture, but that message
awaits moderator approval; all the time, in the right upper corner the U-boot
logo showed):
Net: eth0: ethernet@7d500000
PCIe BRCM: link up, 5.0 Gbps x1 (SSC)
starting USB...
Bus xhci_pci: Register 5000420 NbrPorts 5
Starting the controller
USB XHCI 1.00
scanning bus xhci_pci for devices... 4 USB ???
scanning usb for storage devices...
Hit any key to stop autoboot: 0
switch to partitions #0, OK
mmc0 is current device
Scanning mmc 0:3...
Card did not repond to voltage select! :
No EFI system partition
No EFI system partition
Failed to persist EFI variables
BootOrder not defined
EFI boot manager: Cannot load any image
** Invalid partition 4 **
Couldn't find partition mmc 0:4
Scanning mmc 0:1...
After this some more text arrives, which just flashed on the screen, after
which the grub screen showed with the counting 10 seconds which lasted about
50 seconds before really booting.
