[Pkg-systemd-maintainers] Bug#743265: systemd: booting with init=/bin/systemd drops into emergency mode

[Norbert Preining]

Package: systemd
Version: 204-8
Severity: important

Hi,

I just tried to boot with init=/bin/systemd, and that didn't
work out well:
* first some error message
    Failed to start Load Kernel Modules.
  (I think!)
* after that it tried to fsck.vfat my Win8.1 partition
* after that dropped me into emergency shell

Hmm.. from the saved journal I see

There is muuuuuuch more output in the sysctl -bx (or whatever)
output ...

Where should one start here?


For now I went back to sysv-init

Thanks
