Lion boot hangs at point logon prompt should appear

Lion boot hangs at point logon prompt should appear. Unresponsive to mouse or keyboard. Mac mini 2007. Touching power button briefly puts machine to sleep. Hitting key or wiggling mouse then wakes machine and logon proceeds normally. Has happened every time Lion has booted. Never had problems with SL. Fix needed!

TIA,

Same issue here, not always but after entering logon password it will hang with the spinning icon. I have to power off then reboot.

Only since Lion upgrade!
