Knife bootstrap hangs with no errors

I am trying to bootstrap chef node with below command and the process hangs forever

knife bootstrap MyNodesName.fqdn -x 'MyUserName' -P 'MyPassword' -N NodeNameInChefConsole --node-ssl-verify-mode none --sudo -VVs

Below is the log after which there is no activity

DEBUG: [SSH] MyNodesName.fqdn<{:user_known_hosts_file=>"/dev/null", :port=>22, :compression=>false, :compression_level=>0, :keepalive=>true, :keepalive_interval=>60, :timeout=>60, :auth_methods=>["none", "password", "keyboard-interactive"], :keys_only=>nil, :keys=>[], :password=>"<hidden>", :forward_agent=>nil, :non_interactive=>true, :verify_host_key=>:accept_new}> (sudo echo)

how can I debug and resolve this further ?
