Describe the bug

I have an RPi 5 running Raspberry Pi OS Lite 64 bit off an SD card and I have a consistent issue with booting while a USB peripheral is plugged-in, in my case a USB keyboard. If the peripheral is plugged-in during boot, the boot process will hang at the message fs_open: 'armstub8-271.bin' and basically stay there forever. If I unplug the USB device and reboot, everything comes up normally. I have not made any modifications to the boot config or Raspberry Pi OS image, this is just by using the default latest image available via Imager v1.8.5.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

On a Raspberry Pi 5 with Raspberry Pi OS Lite 64 bit installed:

  1. Plug in a USB peripheral (e.g. keyboard)
  2. Reboot
  3. Boot will hang at fs_open: 'armstub8-271.bin'
  4. Unplug USB peripheral
  5. Reboot
  6. OS boots properly to shell login screen
