check boot logs
I guess at this point you're down to checking the system log during a boot to see what diagnostics can be gleaned there. From a regular user account 'dmesg' might help or look at /var/log/messages (default location of syslog output) directly as root. Compare what you find there to the output of 'ifup eth0' as root at the command line (I AM assuming this works, since your post specifically concerns boot time behavior issues.)
