HA wont start after upgrade

Hello - upgraded HA last night to the latest version and now after a reboot, and waiting 12+ hours, no dice.

The log shows the following:
2017-08-11 07:39:52 WARNING (MainThread) [homeassistant.setup] Setup of recorder is taking over 10 seconds.

Any ideas before I re-install?

The WARNING is somewhat irrelevant. I would try restarting the home-assistant service while watching a
tail -f /home/homeassistant/.homeassiatant/home-assistant.log
I would also run
grep error /var/log/syslog
