I have this problem with Ubuntu 18.04 system set up with 'encrypted LVM' (standard Ubuntu recipe as per the alternate installer). Whenever there is systemd upgrade it hangs (whole machine crashes - other logins not possible) and has to be manually rebooted (which is not ideal as the machine is 1500 miles away). Note the installed version of systemd seems to be 237-3ubuntu10.42, obviously I am unable to update it.
I have another machine also Ubuntu 18.04 system set up with 'encrypted LVM' which has systemd 237-3ubuntu10.43 and does not have this problem.
