As we've just said, this conclusion is impossible. Gnome does not run upon bootup, so it can't be hanging.
The most likely explanation I can think of without any further information is that some process in Gnome is not closing down properly when you shutdown (possibly indicating a kernel-level problem), and so your filesystem isn't being cleanly unmounted. Thus, it's going through a full fsck at each boot. But I don't see why the problem should clear after a hard reboot.
Try booting with the command-line option:
and select the first option for your video mode; this may give you more information as to what's happening. Also, really do check your log-files. This could be indicative of a worse problem.
