Are you sure it's frozen? How long have you waited? What local packages
have you installed? Some make take a while to start up (over a minute
depending on the package, and the hardware you're running)

Do a reboot at some point and give it some time (at least 5 or 10
minutes) to see if something is taking a long time to start, or timing
out on some operation at startup. Find out what packages you have
installed that may be causing the trouble.
