Could any of the KDE fixes have caused this? Debian bug#801702 I doubt it, but ... What else was recently upgraded that, while I left the systemd/udev stuff alone, might have done something to the initrd? LSB packages? Additionally, I removed an older kernel and some apps to free up space? Was running out on /usr thanks to the darned installation's ridiculous file partitions. Tried moving /usr/share/doc off as I previous did /usr/local. Tried boot with symlink and bind, the same. Since binding /usr/local to another partition did not cause problems before, assume doing the same for doc was not the problem. But tampering with stuff like this could do it. Anyway, at least I can boot using good old init.
