All right, I've deleted the systemd directory and the system boots more-or- less as expected. The differences from a few months ago are (i) the BIOS spends a few seconds flickering the cursor around the screen before showing my boot menu; (ii) after I've chosen the image to boot, I see 'SHA256 verified' at the top-left of the BIOS's part of the screen, until the kernel takes it over. I don't know what to make of those. -- Regards, Peter.
