Dear all, same happening here:
Debian Jessie/Unstable amd64 up-to-date. systemd: Version : 215-7 shorewall installed and configured NO nfs mount of any kind NO network mount of any kind NetworkManager NOT installed (/etc/network/interfaces used) NO local custom init scriptAdditionally this machine as two wired network interfaces (configured) and one wireless (not configured), when the "hang" occurs it sometimes (rarely, twice in a dozen try, some left to hang for 30minutes) proceeds to boot. When this happens the second interface eth1 (Intel Corporation 82541PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 05) ) is not appearing in ifconfig. When this occurs I can not modprobe the driver (e1000) manually, nor bring the interface by any mean ! I suspected a hardware/bios initialization bug but the same interface works flawlessly with sysvinit-core and systemd-shim, as with rescue system System Rescue CD.
/etc/network and /etc/dhcp attached.Only workaround was to chroot from rescue system and switch back to sysvinit manually.
I can reinstall systemd as init and make the system fail again (outside of office hours ;-) ) if provided with direction as to how collect additional information.
Thank you for your work and attention, All the best.
