I was very confused by the above. Indeed, the log file I downladed
earler really stopped at the error message I pasted. I am sure of that,
as I still had it in my ~/tmp directory, so I could really double-check.

But now I downloaded it again, and indeed, there are much more traces,
up to that optee issue you point ed at.

This is a really weird situation, that the download I had was only
partial...

But testing locally should not have the same impact on boot time, would
it? The boot times out on the eleastic runners because they are too slow
(and many congtainers contend for the CPU there). But locally, it is
really surprising that you hit the exact same timeout issue, and the
exact same point in the boot sequence...

Anyway, can you resend your patch, as I marked it rejected in patchwork,
please?

Yann E. MORIN.
