I have no idea what's going on there, but there seems to be a kernel bug
in there somewhere.

When the system doesn't boot, did you try SysRq-w (hung tasks) and/or
SysRq-t (all tasks)? Or SysRq-l (stack trace)?

IPv6 should be irrelevant here, the 'no IPv6 routers present' message is
just that the kernel didn't see any router advertisements - if you don't
have IPv6 in your subnet, that's normal and harmless.
