Manolo, dmesg messages are asynchronous, so not a good measure to judge boot
time delays.
I would suggest installing bootchart, rebooting and then looking at the graphs
in /var/log/bootchart
For now I would suggest changing the value of timeout to something lower
(maybe 5 or 10). The next version of Ubuntu (9.04, coming out in April),
as well as the general direction of Linux kernel development, is to
speed up boot time. So just wait for the next release to come out, I
believe it will provide a more permanent fix to this (and other) boot
speed issues.
** Description changed:
It seems to bring up the interface successfully, then freeze for a while
and start over. This happens both on intel 3945 and 4965 chipsets.
+
+ The source of the problem is the value of timeout in
+ /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf. Changing it (from the original 60) to 5 or 10
+ decreases the freeze time.
** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
Status: Incomplete => Won't Fix
