This is something to do with linux 5 kernel api
You need to manually downgrade systemd - well - that's what I did.
when you boot with grub or refind - edit default entry and change the
init=/bin/init to init=/bin/bash
That will bypass systemd starting up and drop you straight into a shell.
mount -o remount /
mount /usr
mount /var
mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt
dpkg -i /mnt/systemd_241-7~deb10u3_amd64.deb
On a system that works or download a previous version somehow.
dpkg -l systemd

worst comes to worse can copy the files across from unpack directory -
good luck.
