Please format configs or use external site as detailed in the read me first sticky.
done....

@dildo_baggins Unable to reproduce your issue here...

Oh! You edited your previous post with more info...
THEN.. updated everything to 4.0.3. and ran this (no other config): https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/FAQ#how-do-i-hide-the-boot-text
Everything makes sense now. I'm pretty sure that this is related to the configs you made to hide the boot text...

why would that matter if only these 2 items were done:
sudo nano /boot/cmdline.txt
*change console=tty1 to console=tty3
And add quiet loglevel=3 logo.nologo at the end.*
this was done in the prior enviornment as well so as to boot to splash screen then emulation station.
i had this setting in this enviornment prior to 4.0.3 and all was well.

here is my cmdline.txt for your records (its all in one line):
more /boot/cmdline.txt
dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=serial0,115200 console=tty3 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait quiet loglevel=3 consoleblank=0 logo.nologo -
@dildo_baggins There is a warning on https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/FAQ#how-do-i-hide-the-boot-text saying:
make sure it is all on the same line!!!Check it.

this error looks very similar to this however adding the rc.local doesnt rsolve..

@dildo_baggins
compared with mine, where yours hasconsole=serial0,115200, mine hasconsole=ttyAMA0,115200. Try to change it. -
i disabled serial all together via raspi-config (not showing up in cmdline.txt anymore...

@dildo_baggins My suggestion is to undo all the changes you made in
/boot/cmdline.txt. I'm sure the problem is there. I'm not having this issue here, so if you wanna try my version of this file, take it:dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 console=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty3 root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rootfstype=ext4 elevator=deadline fsck.repair=yes rootwait quiet loglevel=3 consoleblank=0 -
@meleu why would i do this if this is suggested in the FAQ as how to hide boot text? https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/FAQ#how-do-i-hide-the-boot-text
this is a bug that needs to be addressed. it didnt occur in previous builds.

making demands will not help your cause (especially when people are trying to help you). I recommend trying out what @meleu has suggested, and go from there.

It's not reproducible and there's nobody besides you with this problem. So, it seems to be a bug you inserted when messing up your configs.
Good luck.

Try starting from a fresh image. Not sure what has happened to the boot process, but can't really advise and it will be quicker to start afresh.

@meleu the only thing i did was what was listed in the FAQ in terms of overclocking and https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/FAQ#how-do-i-hide-the-boot-text on a fresh build. nothing was "messed up" beyond what was suggested.
so i will continue to QA and provide feedback so the team can improve the product, process, and documentation. (literally followed the deploy process to the letter... but i will try again and document the steps to reproduce.
lets not be abrasive, appreciate all the help thus far. i am complying with the forum rules.
