Thank you for testing.

This is the kernel command line that I am using on both the lpi4 and
the ahead:

root=/dev/mmcblk0p3 ro rootfstype=ext4 rootwait console=ttyS0,115200

I seem to recall that before I used rootwait that there would be a VFS
oops because mmcblk0p3 didn't exist yet.

Have you tried rootwait instead of the 10 second delay?

I imagine an enforced delay would be very annoying. With "rootwait", I
don't notice any delay, it boots to the login prompt faster than I can
read the text scrolling by during boot. (my rootfs is a simple
buildroot).

thanks,
drew
