I had a similar problem... >~# cat /etc/network/interfaces.guessnet ># This file describes the network interfaces available on your system ># and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). > ># The loopback network interface >auto lo >iface lo inet loopback ># The primary network interface >auto eth0 Most likely, the "auto eth0" entry is making the system try to bring up the interface too early...in one case I removed that line, and boot returned to normal; it will still come up automatically later if you have ifplugd and/or some kind of network detection program like whereami, laptop-net, guessnet, etc. (Don't remove the "auto lo", however, as that interferes with desktop processes and probably other important things, as I discovered after a lot of head-scratching!) Another reason for this problem can be that the names of the physical interfaces can get swapped around, especially after a substantial upgrade - I recommend the program ifrename, which allows you to decide what each interface will consistently be called.
