Doug. Thank you very much for your help.
I looked at the /etc/rcS.d/ . Here is what I got:
S35mountall.sh
S36mountall-bootclean.sh
S36udev-mtab
S37mountoverflowtmp
S39ifupdown
S40networking
As I know that S35mountall.sh and s40networking are fine. So
something goes wrong when debian hit 36 37 or 39.
I have a feeling that the problem is about S39. Anyway, I will reboot
the system check what kind log I can get. Also I am reading the /etc/
init.d/rc file too. Maybe I need to modify it.
Not quite sure yet. Thanks again.
Mond
