Eric,
While the boot time for the Crio is variable, I have never heard of anyone experiencing anything longer than a minute or two. I am guessing that you have a serious problem with the wiring. Try simply powering the Crio with nothing else connected and see if the boot time is normal. Then start adding things, first the radio, then peripherals. I suspect a sneak path through something attached to the Crio. You are using the power supply on the PD specially designed for this function? The Crio needs 19 volts minimum on the power input to work. It may boot on 12 volts but it is not guaranteed to function at the power input.
