I can confirm that "removing MBR partition 2" indeed WORKS.
I've tested the "second" step as I've already had booted from the stick a
couple of times (and always had experienced the daunting delay).
Thus I've patched the partition on the stick directly as you've advised.

Yes.
The stick needs the remedy once again after casper created the persistent
partition.

So if we want to propose a workaround for the current layout, it would be a
good base if you could confirm that j3400 boots after the plain procedure with
no other experiments inbetween:

The "Try or Install" menu item of grub.cfg in lubuntu-22.04-desktop-amd64.iso
differs from the one of ubuntu-22.04-desktop-amd64.iso mainly by kernel
parameter file=/cdrom/preseed/lubuntu.seed instead of ubuntu.seed.
At
https://releases.ubuntu.com/22.04/
you find the amd64 iso file and its sha256sum, and at

you find the corresponding Lubuntu files.

Well, then the hope to find a simple explanation from tweak 3 was an

Hi again Thomas,
The grub comes from a compressed tarball, that is extracted onto the
target drive. This makes it independent of the current operating system
and its version of grub.
So in order to look at it, use dus-iso2usb, or if you want only the
basics, extract only the tarball, in this case

Are we sure this issue does not happen on 20.10 as well? It seems to

I don't know for sure what's going on, I assume it's trying to read the
entire partition into memory to verify it, but not 100% sure. Certainly
There was also a much shorter pause in the boot process at:
"commands/verifiers.c:88: file: /casper/vmlinuz type: 3"
The attached picture shows what happens after that.

Reading the grub manual I found a "pager" option which causes the output
to pause after each screenful. By setting that I was able to capture
what happens after "lib/relocator.c:1410:".

I modified the grub arguments, using grub shell, so that "set debug=all"
was used. Having done that and watching the boot process the last
message I saw before a very long pause was:
"lib/relocator.c:1410: chunks = 0xb9fd5c00"
The context before the pause can be found in the attached screenshot.

nothing else until the system is booted.
