In my experiences, when a working installation suddenly refuses to boot,
selecting the "disable user add-ons" option in the boot options menu tends
to help.  Hooking up a serial cable and looking at the debugging output is
usually the best way to narrow the problem down to a particular app or
component.

When you say "progresses no further", do you mean the system hangs, or it
restarts itself?
