I went for about six months not being able to restart my Iyo without a 
whole load of restarts, power unplugging and USB unplugging to get it 
going again before I found the culprit.  Earlier this month I 
unplugged my USB hard drive from the socket on the back and since then 
reboots have worked cleanly first time.  It was down to the mount time 
for the disc (about 1m 40s).  I had forgotten that it was permanently 
plugged in and as I rarely switch the Iyo off it wasn't a problem most 
of the time.
