At the risk of a necrobump
I have had the same issue trying to build a new version of dwmX 'distrolette'

https://sourceforge.net/projects/dwmx/

I started with a fresh minimal Debian Buster install...BUT...[using REFRACTA tools]
Burning an ISO of my development  distro the new ISO boot paused for +/-12 minutes [WTF  ]...at the end of boot...with the same message as per head of thread.
I am now trying to build a new version on Devuan and so far I have built a pre-alpha 'dwmXdev' version with sysvinit,boots no issues, to a modest 160MB RAM @ idle.

Any feedback welcome 

Keep up the great work team

added ceni+ a few tweaks...

Still wheezy  based but move to sid planned...

Hi VastOne,
Mr.Bacon is really cool.
So far, I have been learning the basics of distro(lette) construction...work in progress.
I would like to move to a Sid base so I am planning a dwmX config based on Sid with BBQ base+roast your own 'stuff'...
I have had problems generating a Sid based dwmX with Refracta...does not compute Man 
I want to run the development of dwmX 'wheezy' and 'sid' in parallel and that is in the pipeline....

Time, of course, is the enemy!  ...too many night shifts recently...destroying my Karma...

I will try and keep you updated...

VSIDO is rocking as per usual - keep up the great work Man

I have found this a very useful tool to eliminate large cruft in my distro.
