Some US-based people may be on holiday later this week so I'm offering
help from the frozen Northland and more importantly from the team in 
Beijing. ;-)

Is we can create a defect for this and point / copy the wiki notes into 
it, that
would help.
    https://wiki.yoctoproject.org/wiki/Qemuppc_Boot_Hangs

I think I had asked Chi to see if he could reproduce this a week or two ago.
When the lack of entropy problem was identified and fix, many people thought
this hang went away as well. Chi can you read the wiki report and see if you
can add anything to them?

Robert, can you test Fedora 26. It would help to have a defect open with 
steps to reproduce or
something about the typical workflow/ build time/ day of the week/ phase 
of the moon.

Likely specific to the AB server so no plans to do anything for this bug.

  I'll take a look to:
  - see if I can duplicate the bug on a fast build host
  - check upstream to see if the bug is known/fixed
  - see if I can spot a race in the build rules.

Saul, Are you around this week? Do you have any additional information 
before
leaving for Thanksgiving?

Jackie,
Can you look at the code around the image creation and try to reproduce 
this one?
