Bootmenu hangs with white screen
Bootmenu uses the Maemo kernel, which doesn't have console/tty support. Thus the display will stay as Bootmenu has left it until the X-Server starts. To find out what's going on I suggest the following steps:
- enable bootlogd in /etc/default/bootlogd
- check /var/log/boot and /var/log/Xorg.0.log
Typical error: nodm is disabled in /etc/default/nodm
