I have made the experience, that sometimes (I have not found a systematic behind that, yet) the machine delays for a longer while (up to half a minute) and suddenly it continoues booting perfectly. Second, you may play around with the PDC console driver for linux (/dev/ttyB0 at major 60). If this driver is configured (CONFIG_PDC_CONSOLE, under "Non-standard serial port support"), then you have the same effect as activating macro "EARLY_BOOTUP_DEBUG", but you can use non-supported serial consoles (PDC console) as full console device including login, etc..... See the HELP button of CONFIG_PDC_CONSOLE for more details on setup.
