Hi, 

I have downloaded the image for Pandaboard, from 

http://releases.linaro.org/13.09/ubuntu/panda/panda-raring_developer_20130922-471.img.gz

I unpack it and copy it to a SD card using Windows Image writer. 

When the Pandaboard boots, the boot hangs temporarily (circa one minute) after having printed 

[    6.891754] init: ureadahead main process (1106) terminated with status 5
[    7.596893] EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p2): re-mounted. Opts: errors=remount-ro

After the minute or so has passed, the printout resumes, and one sees

 * Setting sensors limits                                                [ OK ] 

 * Loading cpufreq kernel modules...                                            

and then the login proceeds with success. 

When I look in the dmesg printout I see

[    6.143127] EXT4-fs (mmcblk0p2): mounted filesystem with ordered data mode. Opts: (null)
[    6.891754] init: ureadahead main process (1106) terminated with status 5

[  132.072296] init: tty1 main process (1602) killed by TERM signal

Could it be that some  service is started that takes a lot of time? 

Have you seen this before? 

Any hints are appreciated! 

Best regards,
