It only does if you set CONFIG_DEBUG_USER in your kernel config. You
will need to change it in the config you point your BR2 to.

With CONFIG_DEBUG_USER=y, you should see more useful output at this
stage.

It is possible, of course. Once you have more debug output, you might
see where the problem is.
