You know what I just realised, I didn't read that bug all the way.
Unplug that SanDisk Cruzer. It's the SanDisk cruzer that is sr1 (I
forgot it has an emulated CD-ROM) and it's what's causing the problems
and slow boot.  I completely forgot until I reread the bug and looked at
comments aswell as logs instead of just logs.

You can disable the CD-ROM in the SanDisk (I don't remember if it's
still called U3) by going here and using SanDisks own removal tool:
http://u3.sandisk.com/launchpadremoval.htm which will fix the VFS issue
and should (possibly) fix your boot issues.
