I am not entirely sure, but I think that the last change I made was to install insserv. The last messages displayed when the boot stops are usually: [........] Jan 25 20:18:42 tpad kernel: ACPI: AC Adapter [AC] (on-line) Jan 25 20:18:42 tpad kernel: ACPI: CPU0 (power states: C1[C1] C2[C2] C3[C3]) Jan 25 20:18:42 tpad kernel: ACPI: Processor [CPU] (supports 8 throttling states) Jan 25 20:18:42 tpad kernel: Time: acpi_pm clocksource has been installed.

Does anyone know how I might go about diagnosing this further, for example, how to determine what the key press is triggering which allows the boot to continue, or which service is stalling?
