Maybe the machine is trying to mount NFS filesystems which are not available..

If you know by heart which NFS filesystems the machine uses, check the related NFS servers and make sure the NFS exports are working correctly.

If you don't know which filesystems it needs, it might be an idea to start the machine in single user mode. This way you can check your /etc/fstab for the NFS filesystems (and maybe comment them out for now).

You could try typing control shift \, then do what Wout said about looking at fstab.

Are you sure that the NIC's get configured correctly, or that the server is able to resolve any host names it requires fof NFS ?

I have seen this problem when building machines and I assign temporary network parameters.
