When the machine is booted, open a terminal and run "dmesg" to see on what the kernel was stuck so long. In my case, it was the intel-lpss PCI device initialization, and I fixed it by disabling the Intel IOMMU. If you get similar results, this issue might be a duplicate of mine which I reported here:
