[Bug 916890] Re: "Waiting for network configuration" on every boot

[Stéphane Graber]

Just thought of a bunch more that might be useful:
 - /var/log/syslog
 - /var/log/kern.log

And if you don't mind a reboot and know of to do that:
 - reboot with "--log" appended to the kernel boot command line
 - make a tarball out of /var/log/upstart/* and attach it to the bug

Please note that these upstart logging instructions may cause a kernel
panic at boot time because of an upstart bug (that's why it's not the
current default). If it does, just reboot without the extra "--log". We
expect the next upstart upload to fix that bug and then turn logging on
by default (which should make debugging this kind of bug much much
easier).


I had planned to do a review of ifupdown bugs tomorrow morning and try to fix or reproduce as many as possible so I probably won't spend much more time on this bug today but hopefully with these few files I should have enough to figure out what happened.

Thanks

Title:
  "Waiting for network configuration" on every boot

Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Upgrade from 0.7~alpha5.1ubuntu6 to 0.7~beta2ubuntu1 brought this on:
  on every boot the "Waiting for network configuration" and "Waiting up
  to 60 seconds more for network" messages appear and boot is thus about
  2 minutes slower than before. It also says it's booting without
  network, but the network is in fact there after I log in.

  Downgrading back to 0.7~alpha5.1ubuntu6 makes the wait go away again.

  Reproduced this on three different computers on two different
  networks, both wired and wireless.
