I got that. I changed the dhcp config in /etc/network/interfaces from dhcp to a 
static one.
But it seems to require the update to /etc/hosts also (hostname was mapped to 
127.0.0.1 with a dhcp config).
So fixing /etc/network/interfaces was not enough. The error message in 
/var/log/syslog was not very clear on this.
