The bug I see on my XP1000 with systemd is that it fails to mount the filesystems in /etc/fstab and so stops in emergency mode; one can enter the root password, issue "mount -a" and "swapon -a" and exit and the boot resumes fines. I never had this problem with sysvinit and have no idea why systemd does not cope. I will probably reinstall sysvinit. Every time I have tried systemd on my Alpha I have ended up deinstalling it and reverting back to sysvinit and it looks like this time will be no exception. Cheers, Michael.
