This same setup was working OK before the power outage?

When that line is reached, or just a bit before that, when you take out the WAN cable, do you see the bold "link state changed DOWN / UP" messages ?
What happens when you boot without the cable ?
What happens when you re assign the interfaces : swap LAN and WAN ?
Is this a bare bone or VM ?
