That sounds as if systemd is running. That would mean that filesystems and disk drivers are successfully loaded. For sysv I would suggest starting with init=/bin/bash and stepping through the initscripts, but I don't think you can do that in systemd. For sysv I would also suggest looking at the logs (if any) from chroot, but again I think your binary logs will prevent that. > <machine-name> login: [14.278504] e1000e: enp0s31f6 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps > Full Duplex, Flow Control: rx/Tx > [ 14.281052] IPv6: ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): enp0s31f6: link becomes ready > ####### > > Then the machine completely hangs and I have to power cycle. > Are you relying on nfs or another sort of network filesystem such as samba ?

Generally it is easier to build in what needs to be built in (filesystems, disk drivers) and make everything else modules. Once it boots, you may well need to add extra things as built-in, and therefore rebuild the kernel/modules (ideally with a different extraversion so that you don't trash the previous version). For deciding what needs to be built in, look at lsmod on a running (distro) system and assume all used modules are needed. ĸen -- I live in a city. I know sparrows from starlings.
