Martin, do you have upstart, systemd-shim, cgmanager and libcdmanager0 purged and are you using kernel line init=/lib/systemd/systemd ?
I cannot boot at all if I remove the kernel booting line. Then to your questions: 1) I could not get the booting hang when "quiet" was dropped from the kernel line. The booting process slowed down significantly and a number of text lines went by and booting was successful a number of times. 2) with quiet (but splash dropped) in the kernel line, I can reproduce the hanging very often. 3) this is all there is visible in the screen when booting hangs: [1.490641] systemd[1]: job lvm2.service/start deleted to break ordering cycle starting with local-fs.target/start [1.492015] systemd-fsck[235]:/dev/sda1: clean, 86887/6111232 files, 1044303/24414062 blocks 4) I did wait for several minutes when hang appears. Note that my set up is very fast and fsck will run in a few seconds. Also, after downgrading to systemd 208 all is well again, with no hangs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1385630 Title: systemd 215 hangs in fsck To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/systemd/+bug/1385630/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
