Re: Ubuntu LTS 12.04 takes 15-20 minutes to boot
dmesg | less
can let you look though things that happened during and since booting, but I am not sure how far back that goes until you lose the beginning (may depend upon memory).
Otherwise look through /var/log/dmesg or /var/log/syslog for anything unusual or errors, especially anything related to drive access, if something got corrupted on a drive or a drive is acting up.
But as mentioned, Linux fsck's drives occasionally during boot and unfortunately Ubuntu no longer provides indication of progress, and that could take awhile for a large partition.
