How to get past "Raising network interface"

[arjepsen]

I'm trying to build an image for an Olimex A13-Som board. So far it starts booting, but halts when it gets to:

"Starting Raise network interface...".

I've tried all the available distribution in the builder, (Bionic, Buster, Stretch, Focal etc.) and it's the same for all of them.

I quite can't figure out how to get it to move past that point - anyone got a suggestion?

 

Regards.

This means its some kernel (or device tree) related issue. All variants contains the same kernel. Hard to say what is the problem, since we don't deal with this particular hardware.

You sure it halts?  I have this problem on some laptop (haven't figured it out yet).  But if you wait a long time, it will get past it.  Annoying, I know, but...

Assuming this is the culprit it seems like the default timeout is 120 seconds

Will check again, but I think I waited something like 10 minutes without any advance.... :-)

Checked it again - still no advance after 10 mintes.
