</div>That sounds like you were not passing the correct parameters on the<br>
kernel command line and the kernel couldn't find the systemd binary.<br>
You'll need init=/bin/systemd<br>
<br>
If you can attach a screenshot, that would help<br>
<br>
And yes, GNOME will get a hard dependency on systemd, at least the parts<br>
which require functionality from systemd.<br>
