Weird boot issue with Avahi

When I boot I get this error:

Starting CRON daemondone
Starting smartd done
Starting VirtualBox kernel moduledone
Timeout reached while wating for return value
Could not receive return value from daemon process.
failed
done
Master Resource Control: runlevel 5 has been reached
Failed services in runlevel 5: avahi-daemon
Skipped services in runlevel 5: smbfs
<notice>killproc: kill(1989,3)

Whether or not I log in at the prompt given, eventually KDE 4 tries to load. It takes a long time but eventually does(at least in fail safe).

I am not sure what other logs to look into to get more information, but does anyone have any idea how to solve this?

I have been trying to set up openldap client to connect to another box which is what I was doing before I shut down.

Could I just shut down Avahi? I do mount an EXT file system which is controlled via Samba, and I would like to get single signon in my LAN working.

I have the same issue right now were you able to correct this issue?
