Is this a bug?

[Adam Tong]

Hi,

Are you sure we are talking about the same issue. In my case I tested several times. Whenever I try starting without the network wire this happens, and never when the network wire is plugged in.

I doubt that the network wire adds more memory to the operating system!!!
What i was thinking is maybe the os checks for network connection during startup and when it does not find it, it blocks because of a bug in the code that do not handle that case.

Is there a way to troubleshoot this?
