[Bug 856810] Re: Boot hangs at "Booting system without full network configuration..."

[Koen Verweij]

I can confirm that this is fixed for me too. However since it is still
happening for illumilore I think that my bug was actually bug 881079
instead. Bug 881079 is fixed with the new upstart update. There are also
several other similar (or maybe duplicate??) bugs to this one: bug
876449, bug 858122 and bug 881079.

Title:
  Boot hangs at "Booting system without full network configuration..."

  Confirmed
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I installed Ubuntu 11.10 beta1 64bit on a new laptop. I rebooted and
  it came up nicely.

  After that I did "apt-get update" and "apt-get dist-upgrade" to get
  the most recent fixes and installed some additional software.

  Now I do not seem to be able to boot.

  Fist I see:
  Waiting for network configuration...

  Then I see:
  Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration...

  And then it just hangs forever displaying the following:
  Booting system without full network configuration...

  Nothing happens after that, no matter how long I wait. However, I can
  switch to the console with CTRL-ALT-F1 and log in from there. The
  network is configured with DHCP and it works just fine from the
  console. I do not understand what the GUI boot display is waiting for.

  I installed the system using the alternate install CD to get LVM based
  partitions with full disk encryption.

  I noticed the bug #847782 and removed the "auto eth0" entry from my
  /etc/network/interfaces. Unfortunately that did not change anything,
  it still hangs forever.
