The last message is:
started konsole fonts and....
Then:
(1 of 1) A start job is running for LSB: Raise network interfaces. (1min 30s /
5min 30s)

Yes, different times are shown, but in the same manner.
I googled a bit, and it might be related to systemd. Other people got the same
problem, with different delay times (up to 15 minutes). That happened mostly
after an upgrade.
Note: I am using /etc/network/interfaces and network-manager is not installed.
As others mentioned, I commented "allow hotplug" line out, with no success.
This behaviour seem to be a well known problem, buit it looks like there is no
general solution.
I have erverything static! Here is my complete /etc/network/interfaces:

Most entries are commented out. And as you see, everything is static, NO dhcp.
This configuration is now unchanged for many years.
Looks for me like a timeout problem somewhere.
Hope this helps.
