Hello list, I do not want to mourn, just searching for an info.
Can someone tell me, what has changed in the kernel (I believe, it is since kernel 3.4, but do not know exactly), that the boot progress hangs about 1 - 1,5 minutes, when the network is started? I am using /etc/network/interfaces witrh a static IP, so it should start fast and not wait for something. In earlier kernels, there was no wait, just straight boot. Why the delay now? Would be happy, if someone could enlighten me, and maybe give me a clue, if I can something configure to improve it. And please, I do not want to mourn! Just want to know. Ah, and I do NOT use network-manager (not installed), but wicd instead. Thanks for reading this. Best Hans
