Bug#754218: boot hangs forever on LSB job "raise network interfaces"

[tv.debian at googlemail.com]

Dear all,

same happening here:

Debian Jessie/Unstable amd64 up-to-date.

systemd: Version : 215-7

shorewall installed and configured

NO nfs mount of any kind

NO network mount of any kind

NetworkManager NOT installed (/etc/network/interfaces used)

NO local custom init script


Additionally this machine as two wired network interfaces (configured) 
and one wireless (not configured), when the "hang" occurs it sometimes 
(rarely, twice in a dozen try, some left to hang for 30minutes) proceeds 
to boot. When this happens the second interface eth1 (Intel Corporation 
82541PI Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 05) ) is not appearing in 
ifconfig. When this occurs I can not modprobe the driver (e1000) 
manually, nor bring the interface by any mean ! I suspected a 
hardware/bios initialization bug but the same interface works flawlessly 
with sysvinit-core and systemd-shim, as with rescue system System Rescue CD.

/etc/network and /etc/dhcp attached.

Only workaround was to chroot from rescue system and switch back to 
sysvinit manually.


I can reinstall systemd as init and make the system fail again (outside 
of office hours ;-) ) if provided with direction as to how collect 
additional information.

Thank you for your work and attention,

All the best.
