[Bug 876449] Re: plymouth hanging after printing "Booting system without full network configuration"

Ok, that's broken.  Can you please show the output of 'ls -l
/etc/rc6.d'?  Or is /var/run a symlink now because you've reinstalled?

Regarding your interfaces file, I see that neither vm8 nor vm1 has any
bridge ports configured.  This prevents these interfaces from being
activated by the event-driven /etc/init/network-interface.conf job,
because udev/upstart/ifupdown have no way to associate them with events
for a physical interface.  They should still be brought up by
/etc/init/networking.conf, but this job may be firing before /var/run is
writable (since /var/run is not a symlink on your system, and MUST be a
symlink to /run).

interface vm2 does have a bridge port, but it points to a vlan
interface.  I'm not certain if we have proper event-driven activation of
vlan interfaces either - we get an event for the physical interface
'eth0', but I don't know that anything translates this event into
bringing up the vlan interface.  That probably warrants a bug report on
the 'vlan' package.
