[Bug 885909] [NEW] Boot process hangs in Ubuntu 11.10 server after upgrade

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

Boot process is delayed with the message on screen "ubuntu 11.10 booting
system without full network configuration".

Some processes did not start (eg nmbd, mediatomb). They appear to be
waiting for an event, in nmbd's case: start on (local-filesystems and
net-device-up IFACE!=lo) .

Some status checks:

root at u01:~# status network-interface INTERFACE=lo
network-interface (lo) start/running
root at u01:~# status network-interface INTERFACE=eth0
network-interface (eth0) start/running
root at u01:~# status nmbd
nmbd stop/waiting

So, it seems that the prerequisites for nmbd are running, but nmbd seems
to be waiting to start.

Looking at the code in network-interface.conf:

pre-start script
    if [ "$INTERFACE" = lo ]; then
        # bring this up even if /etc/network/interfaces is broken
        ifconfig lo 127.0.0.1 up || true
        initctl emit -n net-device-up \
            IFACE=lo LOGICAL=lo ADDRFAM=inet METHOD=loopback || true
    fi
    mkdir -p /var/run/network
    exec ifup --allow auto $INTERFACE
end script


It emits an event when lo starts, what emits an event to notify that eth0 started?
