Using Testing can be problematical as you've discovered. I'm assuming that everything was working fine, then you did a dist-upgrade and the long boot times began. I'm also assuming that your notebook is set to connect to a network at boot up. So, turn off the wireless transceiver (or disconnect your ethernet cable), reboot and see what happens. Also, here's a link how best to install and use Testing like a "rolling" release. Something I do not recommend. https://wiki.debian.org/DebianTesting B
