Do you have a serial debugger? https://pine64.com/product/pinebook-pine...l-console/
Should be able to see what it is hanging at with it. You could also build one from parts, a cheap TTL USB adapter and a TRRS jack and some wire.
There is a bug in the A64 that some have problems with a timer that when it rolls over hangs the system. https://lore.kernel.org/linux-sunxi/2021...and.org/T/
Some devices have it worse than others. Most kernels have been patched but u-Boot has to be patched separately as well. It previously would cause boot hangs (black screen) for me on one of my PinePhones. It has since been patched in Arch https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pi...452f731228
Try Arch Linux Arm and see if that boots reliably. https://github.com/dreemurrs-embedded/Pi...h/releases
