We'll follow Didier's line of thought that this is a service problem; some interaction between your setup and the init system. Checking that ipv6 is operative is a matter of finding '0' in the outputs of, for example cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/disable_ipv6 cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/default/disable_ipv6 cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/lo/disable_ipv6 cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/disable_ipv6 I'd expect a mount problem to be circumvented by commenting out everything in fstab except the disk being booted from. Two things to try: 1. After doing the above, reboot and use journalctl to look and search for clues. Then a dist-upgrade. Any luck? 2. Reboot and at the grub menu use 'e' to edit the menu entry. At the end of the 'linux' line add 'init=/lib/sysvinit/init'. Press F10. You will now boot with sysvinit as the service manager. Dist-upgrade. Any joy?
