It used to complain nebulously about my USB 3 port, but it doesn’t do that anymore. Now it just does the forever-initializing thing. The red lights do come on when it’s trying to create the user profile, but otherwise, no workie.
Could I ask that you up the geeky verbosity on your error messages and that you add a dead man’s switch for when it hangs too long and print out a geeky, verbose error message to offer us some clue as to what it was waiting on? Instrumentation ftw.
