Public bug reported:

After installing ubuntu 17.10 desktop a window asking for a reboot opens.
After selecting the reboot I get the following error message from systemd: 'A 
start job is running for Hold until boot process finishes up (21s / no limit)'
The system hangs and continues to display this error message.
As far as I can tell this message comes up during the shutdown part of the 
reboot.

I used 'ubuntu-17.10-desktop-amd64.iso' as installation image on a usb
drive, I started the installer by selecting 'Try Ubuntu without
installing' in the boot menu and clicking the installer icon after the
live systems boot up.

Happily I also found a workaround. Before booting the live system I
changed some boot parameters with grub from 'quiet splash' to
'noplymouth' and then the installation worked and a proper reboot after
installation was possible.

To make things clearer I have attachted a screenshot of the error message.
I encountered this bug on Lenovo ThinkPad T470 with an nvme SSD.
