In my experience at least, when my scans wouldn't start, it usually happened because the openvas-scanner aka openvassd was not finished loading the NVTs (scan scripts). Sometimes I found, if scans started too fast after a boot they wouldn't launch and would be held for openvassd to be ready. But then after openvassd was finished loading, they still didn't start reliably 100% of the time for me.
You could also try this: http://openvas-discuss.openvas.narkive.com/O4Vc1LmK/openvasmd-no-more-logging-with-actual-build It will give you a lot more logs what's going on and likely show what got stuck, but it could reveal some passwords or credentials, so be cautious.
