Yersterday I did the installation of freeipa on my banana Pi with modifying the
source file ipalib/constants.py:    ('startup_timeout', 300). I changed it to
900 s. And the setup process was successful! The start of the CA had a duration
of 630s! But after the installation freeipa is usable on the banana Pi.
 
Thanks to Endi for help.
