I've now had an apparent hang with this configuration, so it's an intermittent problem, as other people have said. As suggested, pressing a key ("n", in this case) several times allowed the boot to proceed successfully. Insufficient entropy for /dev/random seems like a good guess for the source of the problem. -- Ian Bruce
