It hangs, and you've only waited two minutes?  If you're getting an
AFS timeout (because the netowkr isn't working, for example, or your
configuration is wrong), it can take much longer than 2 minutes.

I assumed you booted into runlevel 5.  I wanted to make sure you would see
an Oops.

Question: when the machine "hangs", can you ping it from another
machine?
