My point was if you hit escape once it stops you can see where the boot is stopping so to find out what is causing the problem. He reported that doesn't work. pause at the ok prompt, but BEFORE the boot process stalls. [Once booting has paused at the single dot, pressing escape does

pps.  Richard - when the pretty boot appears to stall, I do not think booting has gotten very far.  Without both USB devices plugged in, pretty boot eventually activates the camera LED (presumably while initializing the camera).  But when pretty boot stalls (with both USB devices plugged in),

However, due to the overall boot time decrease, and increase in startup parallelization, I'm seeing that we have very little time to do anything animated. The initramfs starts the animation and then boots the rest of the system, providing a window of maybe 3-4 seconds while we animate. Then
