I'm also able to see this happening while using the linaro-nano image (just a minimal rootfs based on ubuntu oneiric).
The failsafe service will always be called, because of the upstart script dependencies: "start on filesystem and net-device-up IFACE=lo" This just exists so rc-sysinit.conf can also be called after failsafe: "start on (filesystem and static-network-up) or failsafe-boot" On my case I need to debug upstart to see why the static-network-up event wasn't available at the time failsafe-boot finished, still in progress. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/856810 Title: Boot hangs at "Booting system without full network configuration..." Status in Linaro Ubuntu Evaluation Builds: Confirmed Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I installed Ubuntu 11.10 beta1 64bit on a new laptop. I rebooted and it came up nicely. After that I did "apt-get update" and "apt-get dist-upgrade" to get the most recent fixes and installed some additional software. Now I do not seem to be able to boot. Fist I see: Waiting for network configuration... Then I see: Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration... And then it just hangs forever displaying the following: Booting system without full network configuration... Nothing happens after that, no matter how long I wait. However, I can switch to the console with CTRL-ALT-F1 and log in from there. The network is configured with DHCP and it works just fine from the console. I do not understand what the GUI boot display is waiting for. I installed the system using the alternate install CD to get LVM based partitions with full disk encryption. I noticed the bug #847782 and removed the "auto eth0" entry from my /etc/network/interfaces. Unfortunately that did not change anything, it still hangs forever.
