I would like to second that this problem is active in 14.10.
System: Custom server with dual Intel Xeon E5-2630 CPU and dual ethernet ports
OS: Bare metal install of Ubuntu server 14.10 plus xfce4 (xubuntu) desktop
After the OS install, the system has consistently been hanging as
reported above during the boot sequence.
Following the boot message: "Starting configure network device"
/etc/init/failsafe.conf displays these messages with the associated two
minute sleeps:
Waiting for network configuration...
Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration...
Booting system without full network configuration...
However, shortly after the original "Starting configure network device"
message, I am able to ping both network interfaces from a remote
machine. It appears that although the interfaces are configured and
active, plymouth remains confused and fails to issue a successful
return code. This system was automatically configuring the two
interfaces as p1p1 and p2p1, so I have written an /etc/udev/rules.d/70
-persistent-net.rules file to rename these back to a more respectable
eth0 and eth1. However, the hanging problem preceded any of this
renaming activity.
This delay is a real pain and appears to affect quite a few people. It
would be good to pin down the nature of the problem and fix it once and
for all. This appears to extend back to at least 2011 and can be found
elsewhere under bug-ids 885596 and 881079.
Here are the particulars for my configuration:
