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

[Florian Anderiasch]

I stumbled over this bug while investigating the same symptoms on my
laptop with testing.
After a loss of power I rebooted and it seemingly hung on fsck (last
visible line was something with systemd-fsck), but on rebooting in
recovery I got the
  [ ***  ] A start job is running for LSB: Raise network interfaces.

as well.

I "fixed" it by booting single user mode and removing firestarter, which
I suspected, as it was the only result of

grep -r restart /etc/network

I have systemd 208-8.
