Seems benign enough to me, but I keep getting timeouts trying to mount

It could possibly be related to

Have you had a look through that along with
systemd-efi-boot-generator(8) and the Generator Specification at the
above link?
I haven't used gpt, but maybe something there will help.
systemd-gpt-auto-generator and systemd-efi-boot-generator are binaries, but
I can try to remove them.
"Note that this generator has no effect on non-GPT systems, on systems where
the units are explicitly configured (for example, listed in fstab(5)), or
where the mount points are non-empty."
If it works as documented, it shouldn't do anything because all the mount
points are listed in fstab.
Note too that I blew away Windows completely, so I don't have an EFI System
Partition, but I do have an EFI type bios.
I tried removing the files, but that didn't help.
This type of problem reinforces my dislike of systemd. If it were a simple
boot script, I could just comment out the offending line and get up and
debug that function. Here, the logic if buried deep in compiled code or
multiple configuration files with opaque inter-dependencies.
I'm really trying to make this work, but it keeps throwing problems up. I
tried Fedora 20 (with LXDE) and it didn't seem to work either. It hangs
with no apparent error messages.
For me, I have
/dev/sda - gpt disk, /dev/sda1 is a EFI partition (FAT32), /dev/sda2,
lvm2, /dev/sda3 is my root
(root is suppose to be in lvm2, but currently broken since I have used systemd)
my fstab:
/dev/sda3 / auto defaults,discard 0 2
UUID=5E12-F7F1 /boot/ auto defaults,discard 0 2
/dev/md0.vg/data /mnt/data auto defaults 0 2
/dev/md0.vg/os.swap none swap pri=1 0 0
worst I ever have, are problems mounting /mnt/data and swap (lvm2).
not sure why. Reboots fix it (or just mounting and continuing the
boot). I guess the only partition I have that matches your usecase is
/boot, and I use a UUID to mount it.
I did try a UUID and a LABEL (on one partition) and neither worked.
Is an EFI partition needed for systemd even though nothing else needs
it? That would be unacceptable.
