I'm not sure actually. I only found it after 15 minutes of |
| 15 |
troubleshooting while noting the time when things started/stopped. I |
| 16 |
came across a log entry with something saying "waiting for entropy" and |
| 17 |
when I noted when boot continued another entry like "entropy gathered." |

Those aren't the actual log entries but what I "translated" the entries to. |

Thankfully I wasn't scratching my head for hours over that one. I did |
| 22 |
find if you left it long enough (my IR device would continue boot on its |
| 23 |
own after 20 minutes or so) it would eventually boot. |

Waiting 20 minutes for a MythTV appliance to start is pretty silly though. |
