Last SRC before 'B' is shown on LCD is start of controlling subsystem.
So if you see signon screen 15 mins later, then so long it takes to start
subsystem, which allocates display devices.
It should not be so long. I would suggest to check memory pool
configuration. Pool configuration could be reset during upgrade.
If system is thrashing, it would explain the delay.
You may check history log, especially after message 'Subsystem QCTL
started' - or whatever controlling subsystem is - and look at timing of
mesages there.

FWIW, here is the definitive list of SRC's associated with IPL for V4R4. It was taken out of one of my COMMON pitches.

IPL Status System Response Codes (SRCs) - Service Functions: (as of V4R4M0)

IPL SRC Format Description:

As the system performs an IPL, SRCs appear on the control panel. The SRCs indicate the status of the IPL and are often useful in problem analysis. The following list provides information on the IPL process and shows some SRCs (in numeric order) that can appear during an IPL.

In SRCs of the following formats: C1yx xxxx, C3yx xxxx, or A1yx xxxx, y indicates that a 'special' IPL is in progress and can have one of the following values: y = 'B', 'C', 'D', or 'F':

B = CPM Recovery IPL (pre-dump)
C = CPM Recovery IPL (post-dump)
D = Main Store Dump in progress
F = MFIOP Reset/Reload in progress
