Same problem with fallback image.  Using the info log level doesn't
help at all. It scrolls too fast to read and it's not recorded
anywhere. dmesg only contains a message that udevd has started, I
guess it's because the output is produced by udevd and not the kernel.
The logs are useless because the loggers are not running yet. I think
I'll just ignore the message for now.
