Unfortunately I moved to the next problem.  It now hangs on  "mounting
other file systems"  In fstab there are swap, home and /.  Then the
removable devices all starting with none, except a line for ipod.  It
just starts with its mount point /dev/sdb.

I am going to comment out the ipod just to try something.  I'm
guessing at this point.
