I'm also able to see this happening while using the linaro-nano image
(just a minimal rootfs based on ubuntu oneiric).

The failsafe service will always be called, because of the upstart script dependencies:
"start on filesystem and net-device-up IFACE=lo"

This just exists so rc-sysinit.conf can also be called after failsafe:
"start on (filesystem and static-network-up) or failsafe-boot"

On my case I need to debug upstart to see why the static-network-up
event wasn't available at the time failsafe-boot finished, still in
progress.

Title:
  Boot hangs at "Booting system without full network configuration..."

Status in Linaro Ubuntu Evaluation Builds:
  Confirmed
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “upstart” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I installed Ubuntu 11.10 beta1 64bit on a new laptop. I rebooted and
  it came up nicely.

  After that I did "apt-get update" and "apt-get dist-upgrade" to get
  the most recent fixes and installed some additional software.

  Now I do not seem to be able to boot.

  Fist I see:
  Waiting for network configuration...

  Then I see:
  Waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration...

  And then it just hangs forever displaying the following:
  Booting system without full network configuration...

  Nothing happens after that, no matter how long I wait. However, I can
  switch to the console with CTRL-ALT-F1 and log in from there. The
  network is configured with DHCP and it works just fine from the
  console. I do not understand what the GUI boot display is waiting for.

  I installed the system using the alternate install CD to get LVM based
  partitions with full disk encryption.

  I noticed the bug #847782 and removed the "auto eth0" entry from my
  /etc/network/interfaces. Unfortunately that did not change anything,
  it still hangs forever.
