Hi,

Axel and I looked into this yesterday and realized that systemd
segfaults (as visible in the “journalctl” output after reproducing the
problem).

A bit of googling reveals https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/36991 which is
about the same issue.

The following kernel change causes the issue you are describing:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/?id=1c441e9

Apparently, only 32-bit machines running Linux ≥ 3.10 are
affected. Rolling back to an older kernel version or manually reverting
the commit I pointed to above fixes the issue.

I am reassigning this bug to src:linux in the hope that the maintainers
can apply a patch rolling back the commit in question. As described in
https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=61781, upstream has reverted
it for 3.12, too.
