What happen!??!
This has happened to me twice and I have no idea how to fix it and can't find anything on the googlenets. The first time I fought with it for 8 hours. Finally I gave up and reinstalled the OS because I had to get back to work.
I am taking a wild guess that it has something to do with booting previously with plugged in and/or booted with a device plugged to USB / USB HUB.
My setup:
I have a USB HUB with a mouse, wireless keyboard, and external HD reader, -- The HD READER has a HD and usb port with wireless mouse receiver plugged in to that (to reach my standup station a few feet away). Pretty makeshift, but it did the trick without any problems for a couple weeks. Another guess is something to do with having previously inserted my iPhone and it is trying to boot that.
Attempts to Fix:
To try to fix the problem, I have tried different combinations of booting with and without the USB HUB inserted, and also with and without the HD plugged into the READER, and without the wireless mouse receiver plugged into the HD READER, etc.
Tried booting into safe mode and fixing dpkg, etc.
Tried with and without the iPhone.
Not sure what logs to look at for any hints as to why the device won't boot.
I tried installing "bootchart" and looking in /var/log/bootchart but there was nothing recorded there.
Please let me know what more information you need from me and I can paste the information here.
Thanks!

Since I posted this, I have re-installed Linux Mint 17 (but this time, XFCE 32-bit)
This time I tried never once plugging in my iPhone or external HD reader. I still have been using my USB HUB though.
Once again, it hangs on boot at "Starting enable remaining boot-time encrypted block devices [OK]"...
It was my first reboot in a long time, after suspending many times.
I waited a few minutes before hitting ctrl+alt+del and the boot managed to complete (previously it hadn't). The boot completed, but resolvcof appears to not have been started, and so while I may have a wifi connection, I couldn't google anything until I properly restarted resolve conf by running `sudo /etc/init. d/resolvconf restart`
