In certain situations, ubiquity writes an "auto ethN" line /etc/network/interfaces. This means that the boot up process, including bringing up the X system by upstart, will be delayed for whatever grace period is defined in /etc/init/failsafe.conf . This is currently 120 seconds

This seems to affect mostly (if not only) people who use either the netinstall, or the alternate CD, while using a whired connection.

Please see bug #839595 for more information
