Systemd boot issue

[lwfitz]

Having a strange issue with systemd.

I had my ssd fail the other day and finally got around to replacing it.

I replaced it with the newer revision of what I originally had but I switched up my install a bit to save room for the Windows install since this is a dual boot machine. Normally I would put root, home and swap all on the same drive but today I just put my root partition on the ssd and home and swap on a secondary 7200rpm hdd.
As normal I did all my video driver and kernel installing through smxi and the installed systemd by running

Code Select Expand

get systemd

Install was fine so I then added

Code Select Expand

init=/lib/systemd/systemd

to grub and then ran

Code Select Expand

sudo update-grub

Everything seemed just fine until I reboot and the boot process stalled out on



I seem to remember someone else (maybe Jedi) having a similar issue. Did this ever get figured out?
Could this be caused by having root and home on seperate physical drives?

When I rebooted and edit grub and removed

Code Select Expand

init=/lib/systemd/systemd

the boot process was perfect with no errors and it booted right up.


Edit:
I should mention that although the boot process stalls with systemd enabled it does finally boot after about 5-7 min of waiting and wheeping.

I believe you have to install systemd before Liquorix or any smxi activity... I ran into that same thing when I first tested it

Right on. Ill reinstall and let you know if that fixes it

In this How To is where I stated...

This should only be done on a Debian Kernel install.  If you try it on Liquorix, you will see a Kernel Panic[/url]
