The problem being reported on the 30th Sept is a panic on booting zroot because the disk couldn't be found by the loader, presumably because usb3 needed time to settle, because making it wait a while resulted in a bootable system. But all the waiting does is workaround. I don't know how to fix it permanently. The problem gets to (i guess it's called stage1 boot) where i can select what kernel to boot. At that point, i thought u-boot had completed. The reason I'm mentioning this in this thread is because the OP is reporting an issue looking on the face of it very similar to the one I saw, and i thought mentioning this here might be helpful.
