It looks like udev, the system piece that sets up hardware at boot, is
spinning its wheels on something called an ION.  When you interrupt,
it somehow is able to take a path that eventually ends at boot.  What
happens if you remove that piece of hardware (ION)?  Is boot then
normal?  

It would be good to open a bugzilla for the problem as well as it
shouldn't do this.  udev should either reject or accept, not get into an
infinite loop.
