Kostis,

Thanks for this and sorry for the slow reply.

I am glad you found a workaround. 

It seems to me this is really a problem with ifupdown, or perhaps eudev.

Which versions of those pacakges do you have?

ifupdown is not a forked package, Devuan uses Debian's packages directly.

There are a number of bug reports on Debian's BTS [1] relating to hangs at
boot. Perhaps you could review them and see if any are directly relevant.

Thanks

Mark
