Systemd is still 226-4, not upgraded, had been working up until my first boot this morning which booted OK.
Upgraded some KF5 Baloo packages to fix dorked KDE, rebooted, then bingo. Boot stops with lvmetad is not active yet disk/by-uuid/fca ..... invalid path or logical Then a minute-30 second start job runs for a device (differing uuid). After that, control/D choice. Control/D will reboot, try again, same thing. Entering root password gives me a shell but I do not know what to do in it. My second boot option is same kernel but with append="init=/lib/sysvinit/init" This boots up the old way, just fine! Relevant errors in dmesg: :~$ dmesg | grep -i fail *** [ 19.586295] systemd-logind[3346]: Failed to enable subscription: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1 [ 19.586332] systemd-logind[3346]: Failed to fully start up daemon: Input/output error [ 37.068868] systemd-logind[4387]: Failed to enable subscription: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1 [ 37.068899] systemd-logind[4387]: Failed to fully start up daemon: Input/output error [ 47.726971] systemd-logind[4595]: Failed to enable subscription: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1 [ 47.727005] systemd-logind[4595]: Failed to fully start up daemon: Input/output error [ 123.679649] systemd-logind[4850]: Failed to enable subscription: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1 [ 123.679691] systemd-logind[4850]: Failed to fully start up daemon: Input/output error [ 130.322873] systemd-logind[4873]: Failed to enable subscription: Launch helper exited with unknown return code 1 [ 130.322902] systemd-logind[4873]: Failed to fully start up daemon: Input/output error Running a mostly up-to-date 64 bit Sid box. Easy enough to get back to that root shell if there are any ideas of what to check there.
