Since about mid of November 2025 to now I never had any boot stuck again. So I guess with the 259 series of systemd it never occured to me again. However, so far I can see in the respective thread https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/35499 upstream, there was no explicit fix in this direction. At least two other posts upstream say, they have/had a similar problem: one even on Debian and both with systemd 258.x As no one despite me seem to have had the issue (at least no one posted anything in this bug report), I am usure if I should close the report now. So from my side please feel free to do so.
