My problem is that I get message " Waiting for network configuration" and then " waiting for 60 seconds more " and finally it boots. The total booting time has gone very high. I tried solution suggested by marcobra #2 but it totally messed up the installation and the grub which I had to recover by a grub rescue disk.
A better safe solution is needed as I am novice to Linux programming.
