** Description changed: 15.10/16.04 amd64 With the Linux kernel's "debug" parameter set systemd spams the logs to such a degree that boot fails with the plymouth progress indicator constantly cycling, only tty1 available, and no clear indication from the last messages displayed on console as to why. - - It's not even clear if the system has transitioned from initrd to rootfs - at this point and there's no way to interact. Certainly no log file - residues are found on subsequent non-debug boots which infers the hang - may be during initrd. Leaving aside the unresolved bug of systemd adopting the Linux 'debug' parameter, and thus being the direct cause of this, the complete failure to boot as a result is a serious regression and a Denial of Service. Needing to alter the Linux command-line to use "loglevel=7" is a distasteful workaround.
