ARAnyM pauses until pressing pause

ARAnyM pauses until pressing pause

[Geert Uytterhoeven]

Hi all,

Recently (after upgrading to Ubuntu 24.04LTS?) ARAnyM started hanging
when booting Linux on a Debian nfsroot.

When I press "Pause" to bring up the ARAnyM config screen, the system
continues booting.  If I was pinging the target, suddenly all replies
lost before arrive.  Pressing "Pause" again to make the config screen
disappear may suspend network operation again, or it may keep on
working.  Until after a while I have to press "Pause" again to kick
it...

I did manage to do an apt-upgrade while pinging the VM, and no packet
was lost.  Perhaps it's just the systemd startup scripts that trigger
the issue? ;-)

Apparently I can reproduce the issue with my old Debian on a disk image,
too.  The issue is just less likely to happen when relying less on the
network.

Perhaps this is the same issue as Mark reported in [1]?

I am using ARAnyM 1.1.0-2 from Ubuntu 24.04LTS.

when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
