OpenVZ stuck on boot @ Starting configure network device

[kamiller42]

I can enter the Ubuntu 14.04 server container, but no network access because it gets stuck at boot up or at least appears to be. Here is the last message I see.
Starting configure network device [ OK ]

I can restart the networking service after I enter the container and then access the network. However, everything that is supposed to start after networking starts during bootup is not running.

dmesg in the container returns nothing.

I did perform an apt-get update on the Proxmox host which appeared to update the kernel. Here's my version info...

Never mind. I figured it out. I had some NFS mounts in fstab that were no longer valid. Apparently they never timeout if invalid and halt the entire boot process.

They've been removed and order has been restored to the Proxmox universe.
