Qubes R3.1 hangs during boot

[ama...@riseup.net]

For months now I've had an intermittent problem where qubes hangs during
the boot process which then results in me having to power down.
The symptoms are: The system boots normally, I enter the disk password,
which is followed shortly afterwards by the username/password dialogue
box, after about 30 seconds or so the system hangs and I have to power
down and reboot.

This never happened in qubes R2. I first noticed it during the beta
editions of R3.
It seems to be getting worse - I've just had to reboot 6 consecutive
times before finally getting into the system.

Anyone any ideas?

upgrade to 3.2

3.1 never hangs for me. and I've pushed it to it's limits, and altered it's code.

[Drew White]

final thought: Your PC. Whatever you did before it started, think about it.

then find out what that is.

After that, let us know and we might be able to help.

maybe you can downgrade to the kernel that qubes 2 uses and see what happens.

When the "username/password dialogue box" appears, do you enter your
username and password? Does anything happen after that? (E.g., is
there any indication that the password is correct or incorrect?)

(Looks like you meant to reply-all, so I'm CCing this back to the list.)
