It is a known bug, I found on a bugzilla somewhere. The bug consists
that the booting process needs the ldap server before it gets started.
So, the workaround, for now, is to have a slave ldap server which you
can use at least for booting. In my /etc/ldap.conf I have:
# grep host /etc/ldap.conf
host 127.0.0.1 192.168.0.2
Obviously, 192.168.0.2 is another server on the network which is a slave
for localhost. This way the booting process will try localhost and then
192.168.0.2 and boots ok. I am not sure even if it really needs to be a
real slave, but I happen to have a real slave on my net, so I had no
problem.
Good luck
