To continue my monologue: It seems like I was able to fix it by removing /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and let the system rebuild it when booting. I haven't tried to reboot again, might run into the timeout again; I guess it might be caused by the fact that the two interfaces have the same MAC address. My interface names have changed as well:
eth0->eth0 eth1->wmaster0 wlan0_rename->wlan0 A diff between the two rules files: --- 70-persistent-net.rules.bak 2008-04-08 14:25:38.000000000 +0200 +++ 70-persistent-net.rules 2008-04-08 14:23:44.000000000 +0200 @@ -1,12 +1,10 @@ -# This file maintains persistent names for network interfaces. -# See udev(7) for syntax. -# -# Entries are automatically added by the 75-persistent-net-generator.rules -# file; however you are also free to add your own entries. +# This file was automatically generated by the /lib/udev/write_net_rules +# program run by the persistent-net-generator.rules rules file. +# +# You can modify it, as long as you keep each rule on a single line. # PCI device 0x14e4:0x170c (b44) -SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:16:d4:5c:3b:14", NAME="eth0" +SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:16:d4:5c:3b:14", ATTR{type}=="1", NAME="eth0" -# PCI device 0x14e4:0x4318 (bcm43xx) -SUBSYSTEM=="net", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTRS{address}=="00:16:cf:ab:65:2a", NAME="eth1" +# PCI device 0x14e4:0x4318 (b43-pci-bridge) +SUBSYSTEM=="net", ACTION=="add", DRIVERS=="?*", ATTR{address}=="00:16:cf:ab:65:2a", ATTR{type}=="1", NAME="wlan0" -- [hardy] slow boot since upgrade (30s "Loading hardware drivers...") https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/213903 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
