Hi, perhaps check /etc/network/interfaces. The system waits for those
network interfaces to be up before moving on to the rest of the boot.
If this is a mobile system, you'll be better served by configuring the
interfaces using NetworkManager. If you don't want to use NetworkManager,
you can lower the timeout in /etc/init/failsafe.conf, but this may mean
that services designed to be started after networking is up will not
work properly.

Title:
  Takes over 2 minutes to boot up.

Status in “debian-installer” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I've installed Ubuntu 12.04 Beta 2 for testing purposes.

  When I power on the computer now, I get the following message beneath
  the ubuntu logo:

  Waiting for network configuration

  About a minute later I get this message:

  Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration

  About a minute later I get this message:

  Booting system without full network configuation

  About 10 seconds later I get the ubuntu login screen.

  Why is this happening?
