Hi Peter,
I've had problems in the past with something, IIRC a hard drive not
responding properly and the PC ended up waiting for ages before it would
continue and, of course, it does that during the boot-up process. Might
have been USB not HDF ... can't now remember for sure.
If you have a splash screen hiding the bootup log, , it may be worth
getting rid of it whilst trouble-shooting as the log will likely stall
at the relevant device or system. /var/log/ probably has the text but
doesn't easily show the stall.
If that gives a clue, but not enough, try removing devices to see if you
can isolate the specific device or devices that are responsible.
Trying to remember back to my specific problem, I may have found a
conflict between two devices.
As it's at startup, it's unlikely to be something like tired heat-sink
compound or clogged heatsink, as those take time to happen, but those
are also common roots for sporadic/random hangups.
Gordon.
