it might be that missing RAM or CAPs lead to a freeze in the
initialization progress. Given your log output above, it is not
necessarily the reason. A component might consume more RAM or CAPs
than configured, as long as there is enough available.

Anyway, it is hard to decide what was going wrong, because I'm not
even sure what scenario you are booting. It is surely not the
vmm_arm.run script. In that scenario there is no bash, backdrop, or
report_fs component involved. Is it possible that you are booting
something different than you are assuming? It actually looks like
sculpt OS or a similar scenario. Please double check what kind of
uImage you are booting.
Or did you changed the run-script heavily? If so, please provide all
modifications you did, and the full log output so we can better
evaluate what is going on.

Best regards
Stefan
