Can you run with these options and reboot and show us the logfile?

 	plutodebug=all
 	plutostderrlog=/tmp/startonbootfails.log

they go into ipsec.conf in the "config setup" section.

I assume this is a machine with ethernet, and not with some kind of
dynamic connection (eg wifi via network-manager?)
