This appears, in some bizarre fashion which I am unable to fathom, to be
connected with the general fun & games with network-manager.
Reasons: 1) The live CD of feisty 7.04 beta boots fine
2) Mounting the hard drive from the CD session and editing
/etc/network/interfaces to remove all trace of the
auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet dhcp
..........
.........
etc etc ( which were there by default on my install for some unknown
reason - I had not touched this file until now)
Resulted in a normal boot, without the interminable hang, the error
message, or any of the other symptoms described in my original report.
The fact that the live CD ( 7.04 Beta) booted, whereas neither the -13
nor -14 incarnations of the current 2.6.20 kernel did, suggests that
recent updates have somehow broken networking yet again in new,
exciting, unexpected ways for the general entertainment of all ....
Apologies for the sarcastic tone, but it is now 5 AM and I have been
trouble shooting this for about 5 hours.
*sigh* Reassigning to network-manager.
I hope the wizards can sort this out before release.
** Changed in: network-manager (Ubuntu)
Sourcepackagename: None => network-manager
