This freeze appears on each boot since the dist upgrade to 17.10 (from 17.04) with the following kernel: linux-image-4.13.0-16-generic.
The ssh connexion becomes available after 3 to 5 minutes, and the login screen after more than 20 minutes.
This issue doesn't show up in recovery mode.
This issue doesn't show up with the previous kernel (from 17.04): linux-image-4.10.0-37-generic.
I Also tried the mainline drm-current: linux-image-4.14.0-996-generic_4.14.0-996.201710202201_amd64.deb
The issue is not visible then, but I don't have ethernet access any longer (which may be completely unrelated).

Changed package to kernel-package as it seems more related to that than the Xorg.
