Given that EXT4 is a relative newcomer, and you claim that your boot 
progress halts at the point where you expect the kernel to issue some EXT4 
status messages, this strongly suggests EXT4 borkage in this kernel build.

These kinds of things happen, from time to time. Your only realistic option 
is to wait for the next kernel update, and hope that it gets fixed. You may 
consider opening a bug in Bugzilla; that might help things. If there are 
multiple reports in Bugzilla pointing the finger at ext4, this should catch 
someone's attention.

You may also consider booting the most recent working kernel with the 
"forcefsck" option, to force a fsck on all your ext4 partitions, in the 
event that your fubarage got triggered by minor filesystem corruption, but 
that's a long shot.
