Being nosy, I nearly always hit escape, which shows the boot progress?
I don't think I would have missed a 'long' rebuild message?
The rebuilding process doesn't produce any screen output. So no matter what you hit
on
the keyboard nothing will show. Just, like a said, a blinking cursor.
Would any of that be recorded in the system logs to find out?
You may see some log entries at the time of rebuild in
/var/cache/akmods/akmods.log
