Please try to boot your system in single user mode (type '4' in the 
start screen, where the countdown can be watched)
an do a 'fsck -y'. Then watch whether your box gets stuck or.
If it also get stuck in single user mode, please report again. I'm very 
interestes in this!

Thanks in advance,
Oliver
