The networking doesn't wait for the backend to come up (if it did, what would happen on systems without a backend?). The backend will wait for some networking to come up before it starts (networking that isn't lo).<br>
<br>
How long does it take your system to boot up completely?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>

I should have been clearer in my speculation -- what I meant is that on my backend server, it appears as though the networking is starting *after* the 'mythtv-backend' scripts run. So putting a delay in the 'mythtv-backend' script to wait for the network would not work.<br>
<br>
I just installed 'bootlogd' (I wonder why something so useful isn't installed by default?), and the new '/var/log/boot' seems to confirm my suspicions:<br>

To answer your original question, it takes about 1:45 for my Atom 330 PC to boot completely to a desktop, complete with a wireless connection. Hmmm...<br>

Thanks<br>

What happens if you remove the script you added to check the network and then just stuck a '<span style="background-color:rgb(249,249,249);color:rgb(0,0,0);line-height:1.1em">sleep 300' (5 minutes) in the backend upstart script right before the backend starts?</span></div>
