First - you should read the [Umbrel - getting started guide](https://telegra.ph/Umbrel-Node---Simple-management-guide-03-09)  
Then some aspects you should consider.

1. is normal that sometimes a new instance of Umbrel node is hanging on start. It could be many reasons why:

- some hardware is failing (ext disk, USB cable, power source, drive case)
- installation didn’t went smooth, yes, the mSD cards can be shit also
- your setup is slow and takes a while, but is true, it should not be too much

1. What to do?

- stop /shutdown your node, better if you can [through SSH command](https://telegra.ph/Umbrel-BTCLN-node---Troubleshooting-07-06#How-to-login-using-SSH)
- check your hardware, check the USB cable, consider using original power source, change the USB port
- start again the node and try to [bring up the debug logs](https://telegra.ph/Umbrel-BTCLN-node---Troubleshooting-07-06#I-can%E2%80%99t-access-the-dashboard-at-umbrel.local-or-my-node-keeps-crashing) for a better understanding of what is going on. Post the link (only) to the logs, it will generate automatically a link and you will find it at the end of the log.
- you could try reflashing the mSD with the latest version of Umbrel (now is 0.4.2) and start again your node.

More things toii help you to debug, here in the [Umbrel Troubleshooting manual](https://telegra.ph/Umbrel-BTCLN-node---Troubleshooting-07-06)
