Well, journald is terminated during the switch root transition, since
we want to transition it from the initrd journald to the host
journald, much like PID 1 as well, hence the journal logs end right
before the switch root, making them not particularly useful in this
case.

Right before switch rooting systemd will kill all remaining processes
of the initrd, including the strace, hence the strace logs aren't that
useful either, they end before the transition.

Please boot with "systemd.log_level=debug systemd.log_target=kmsg" on
the kernel cmdline, which ensures the logs go to the kernel log
buffer. And then please provide the output this generates here.
