LS,
I have a problem which I don't seem to be able to solve without
further help.
Using the development version for LFS, I get stuck every time during
boot time. It happens either after the message
"Fast init done" or right thereafter - with a delay of aprox 12
seconds - at the message "Fast crng done".
This problem is with the standard LFS as well as the LFS-systemd.
Anyone has a suggestion?
It sounds like a kernel configuration issue. For your message is
seems that it doesn't even get to /sbin/init which is where the
userspace is initiated.
You don't say what version of the kernel you are using, but I suppose
it is it 4.18.9. Did you do 'make modules_install' ? You might want
to try an earlier known good kernel version.

Ken and Bruce,
I suspected it has to do something with entropy, so I used 4.9.88 -
4.9.2 dit not compiled - and the result was the same. So, since 4.9.88
is from somewhere in March I assume that there is no provision yet for
the spectre etc. issue.
And yes, of course I did "modules_install", the modules are installed
and the initramfs is generated properly too. Until August all worked
well, but after August it did not anymore.
As far as I understand /sbin/init is called after enough random data has
been collected. I just remember that sysvinit has been upgraded too to
2.90 instead of 2.89 with patches. Might a problem there? I will
certainly give it a try to use 2.89 again, just to satisfy my curiosity ;)
I also will make myself familiar with debugging the boot procedure.
Somewhere on the Internet there must be a good tutorial to find.
--- Frans.
