Public bug reported: After updating my system from raring to saucy it was crashing during boot. After some digging I realised that it is connected to the network interfaces. After removing the auto line for the two network interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces the system boots successfully.
If one then tries to bring up the network interface using the via_velocity driver (using ifup) the system crashes and the following message appears in syslog: Sep 15 02:25:24 nas dhclient: Internet Systems Consortium DHCP Client 4.2.4 Sep 15 02:25:24 nas dhclient: Copyright 2004-2012 Internet Systems Consortium.
