I see this too on my slow (500 MHz P3, 256 MB memory) Hardy box (Mythbuntu). It hangs for about 30 - 45 seconds on every boot with a message that the network is inaccessible. This problem appeared when I added some CIFS mounts to my /etc/fstab. After the delay, the continues with the boot, and after boot-up, the mounts have in fact happened.
I also was seeing the even longer hang at shutdown mentioned in a comment to this bug report, but found a solution on the Ubuntu forums. Just do: sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/umountnfs.sh /etc/rc0.d/K15umountnfs.sh sudo ln -s /etc/init.d/umountnfs.sh /etc/rc6.d/K15umountnfs.sh and that fixes it completely (but doesn't help the delay at start-up). -- Hardy beta boot sequence: Network mounts in fstab is done before network is ready. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/208770 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
