This solution worked for me: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source /network-manager/+bug/1385709/comments/6 ;removing left-overs from a sendmail installation, maybe that was part of 14.04.

After upgrading the boot process hangs and says that it is waiting for the network config. After some time it says that it will wait 60 seconds more and does so. Don't know what's wrong here and fixed it by commenting out the relevant parts in /etc/init/failsafe.conf. So it works for me (though I don't think that is the preferred solution). Nevertheless I just want to report that there may be an issure.
