I notice that the file nsswitch.conf on /etc, have this look:

passwd:          files ldap
group:           files ldap
shadow:          files

When I change this lines to this:

passwd:          files
group:           files
shadow:          files

All work fine! So, the system booting normaly...

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
