Have you tried waiting a long long long time?  I have a problem
where the boot hangs but it does actually eventually boot.  The
most infomation I managed to get out of the system before I had to
give up and revert to the previous config was that although Hz was
configured as 1000, it was only ticking 19 times a second, so machine
time was running about 50 slower than wallclock time.

You might or not be experiencing the same issue.
