That's running at the moment. Hmm, that seems like something of a red herring. >> I suspect strongly this is simply the legacy non-LSB initscripts >> issue I mentioned last week that is preventing the prefdm.service >> job from being executed on boot. OK, so this is incorrect, (prefdm *is* started, but perhaps some other jobs had to be cancelled instead. Can you do this: 1. Add the following the to kernel command line when booting normally: "systemd.log_level=debug systemd.log_target=kmsg" 2. When you boot and it gets stuck, simply go to tty2 copy /var/log/dmesg to some file and then somehow give it to me :) Thanks.
