Thanks for confirming Otto - seems this happens more widely than we thought.

This morning I had it fail about 4 times in a row and only boot on the 5th try.

I'm confident I know what's going wrong: the modules squashfs gets unmounted
'too early' because the attempt to unmount it succeeds - but the script assumes
the unmount will fail if module processing is ongoing.

I've just pushed a change to Git with a tweak to where the loop 'sleeps' and
made it reference usb_wait (so the 'sleep' can be configured at runtime).
That's working reliably for me on my APU2 and should be 'safe' for everyone.

@kp: I just pushed the change direct to the 'master' branch; hope that's OK.
Not sure if this warrants a 7.3.1.1, or an early 7.3.2...?
