[Bug 975125] Re: Takes over 2 minutes to boot up.

[Steve Langasek]

Ok, thanks.  This isn't an ifupdown bug either then; it's working as
designed, which is that if there's a network interface marked 'auto' in
/etc/network/interfaces, the boot waits to give it a chance to come up
before proceeding to start services.

This is not an issue when installing from the desktop CD, or when
installing a server system using the same network interface that will be
used post-install; it's specific to the method you used for installing
(booting mini CD, installing over ethernet, then switching to wifi).

So to fix this issue, you should delete the eth0 lines from
/etc/network/interfaces.

I'm reassigning this bug to debian-installer.  Maybe it should be
configurable whether the config for the interface used for installation
gets copied to the installed system.

Title:
  Takes over 2 minutes to boot up.

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  I've installed Ubuntu 12.04 Beta 2 for testing purposes.

  When I power on the computer now, I get the following message beneath
  the ubuntu logo:

  Waiting for network configuration

  About a minute later I get this message:

  Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration

  About a minute later I get this message:

  Booting system without full network configuation

  About 10 seconds later I get the ubuntu login screen.

  Why is this happening?
