Will do. I assume you mean to run a grep on syslog right after I login
(or pls let me know otherwise).

Title:
failsafe.conf's 30 second time out is too low
Status in Release Notes for Ubuntu:
New
Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
**** RELEASE NOTES ****
If a system has network interfaces defined in /etc/network/interfaces
as "auto", the operating system will wait up to 120 seconds for those
interfaces to be fully detected and configured before continuing to
boot the system. Most users of Ubuntu will not be affected by this
change, as only servers and dedicated workstations should have network
interfaces configured in this way.
************************
as far as I can understand, the 30 second sleep in failsafe.conf means
that /etc/init/rc-sysinit.conf will start within at most 30 seconds of
'filesystem' and 'ifup lo' having occurred.
I think that is really to small a number. You're only safeguarding
against the case where a user had an entry in /etc/network/interfaces
that where the device was removed or is not connected. Thats a very
rare case. Increasing the timeout to 60 seconds would make it less
likely to have a false positive and have rc-sysinit start early. (Ie,
the case where a dhcp took 35 seconds).
The user will only be punished by waiting an additional 30 seconds in
the case that they have a misconfigured or out of date
/etc/network/interfaces.
