Yeah, I was in hurry and didn't have the time to give you the reason why I did this.

I sent the latest apport from a kernel with which I don't experience the issue. The difference is that I see these messages:

[ 5.527952] bio: create slab <bio-1> at 1
[ 151.415509] bio: create slab <bio-2> at 2
[ 161.717873] bio: create slab <bio-3> at 3
[ 162.277013] bio: create slab <bio-4> at 4

When the last of these appears, boot immediately continues correctly. Not sure if it's of any relevance.

Anyway, today I've tried the following mainline kernels:
3.13.0-031300
3.14.0-031400
3.15.0-031500
3.16.0-031600

What surprised me is that even with 3.13.0-031300 I experienced the problem. I'm kind of confused now. I'll continue investigation tomorrow. I will do kernel bisection as you requested, but first I'd like to make sure the problem is not with initrd-s. I don't know what to do if it turns out my initrd-s are the culprits. The only working kernel I have (vmlinuz-3.13.0-37-generic) has its initrd generated from the old Trusty times. It seems every initrd I generate with any new installed kernel with Utopic, has the problem.

I won't send more apports, sorry for the inconvenience.
