Confirm Solution #34 (Anyeos  wrote on 2009-07-02):

The boot process seems to freeze AFTER  "Activating swapfile swap". (It reports [OK] doesn't it). 
I assume as well it's S36mountall-bootclean.sh.

Cleaning /tmp solves the freeze. (It took about 10mins to rm -rf * my 20
GB of files there)

I would NOT recommend to use CTRL-ALT-DEL since (as mentioned before)
other init processes might be affected (e.g. network in my case). Either
wait and let the bootprocess do it's job or ctrl-alt-del to continue
boot but then clean /tmp by hand and reboot.

Recommendation: It seems this confusion is caused because there's no
feedback that S36mountall-bootclean.sh is executed, so one might be
tempted to think the S35mountall.sh hangs reporting Activating swapfile
swap. Developers should add a line of feedback.
