Unfortunately I am not able to file this against any specific package as I am not even able to get to a running OS.
If there is some way to get a USB live system to boot in text modeI could try that and report at which stage the boot freezes. I have tried a great number of key presses, alone and in combination to skip past the network configuration but so far nothing has made any difference. The same daily images boot fine on two other machines that I have tried them on; it is just this one old laptop that is a problem. ** Package changed: ubuntu => linux (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1272429 Title: Trusty daily live ISOs will not boot; "Waiting for network configuration" Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I am trying to boot Xubuntu and Lubuntu 14.04 live desktop i386 on an old Acer laptop with Celeron 2.66GHz CPU, 512MB ram (I know, it is low on ram) and a Radeon Mobility 9100 igp. The system simply freezes at the Plymouth screen with Xubuntu/Lubuntu and coloured dots showing and eventually an error "Waiting for network configuration" appears and the system will go no further no matter how long I wait. I have tried with and without a cable network connection to the Realtek RTL 8139 ethernet card, but can not try wireless as I need to use ndiswrapper for the only adapter I have, a Netgear WG511v2 using Marvell chips, showing as 88w8335 {libertas} in lshw output. All previous versions of Xubuntu and Lubuntu up to and includiong 13.10 boot fine on this machine in spite of its low spec.
