Hum, That's interresting, I've had the same problem for a while, but I have had other things to worry about so I didn't investigage it yet.
Here boot hangs at "Welcome to Jessie !" or something but just pressing any key (PS/2 keyboard) is enough to make it go further. Nothing changed in systemd-cron & it has been pretty much "done" for a long time now; so problem is likely somewhere else. I guess blindly re-assigning it to systemd won't help (and that already happens so many times). > He said that the timeout is shorter if he creates some > entropy pressing many keys on the keyboard. Same thing here I'll just this bug open for now.
