The question is - how repeatable is this situation ?
I get these from time to time on my XO-1s. My usual response is to
repeat the boot sequence from the beginning, *after* having changed
my external device configuration (for instance, by pulling some
cables from the USB sockets on the XO). [My guess is that the boot
software gets "stuck" waiting for something -- and that by changing
the external devices I somehow change the internal timings of boot.]

For me, booting sometimes also gets "stuck" soon after

My response is to just repeat the boot sequence from the beginning.
Without me doing anything except glaring at the XO, it appears to
alter its internal timings enough to next time get past this point.
