Somebody in the thread at some point said:

| I have no problem when doing an scp of a new rootfs image to, say,
| /var/volatile/log which is a tmpfs, but untarring the system image to
| /dev/mmcblk0p2 or scp-ing the image directly to the same place is
| extremely slow. It gets as slow as 5 K per second. Writing ~50M takes
| hours.

That's very slow indeed.

Do you have GPS powered up at this time?  Try turning it off if so.

If not, send in your dmesg after boot.
