Well, I didn't find any problem with USB boot. I'm just setting up u-boot to go for a completely standard MMC boot and I'll continue to try to reproduce.

I use ARM's bootmonitor for booting. My setup should have the same firmware and boot process as results from the instructions at: http://releases.linaro.org/12.10/android/vexpress

Tixy, could you try temporarily changing the default option to off for the frequency-invariant load?

I think it'll be at line 3631 in your fair.c

    hmp_data.freqinvar_load_scale_enabled = 1;

Change it to 0 to change the default.

That change restores boot time to 90 seconds down from 5-ish minutes.

I'll try booting from a USB stick instead of MMC...
