It's fixed. After installation I ran some scripts that setup my system. Including this in /etc/network/interfaces:
# The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet dhcp It reboots fine now when I comment those lines. The /etc/init/failsafe.conf file wants to wait for a DHCP request or something like this. This is why it's waiting for an event.
