This is Raspberry Pi 4 running current/arm64
(dmesg below, inside a full cereal log).
Right after the boot sequence finishes and filesystems are mounted,
some of the daemons being started are getting killed, syslogd among
them, there is nothing in /var/log/messages, but see what ntpd -d and
smtpd -ddd themselves say when trying to start.
Where do I start looking? Is that a HW fault?
I did a full sysupgrade -sf, which went fine,
but the problem persists.
Thank you
