Bug#768370: systemd: segmentation fault on old kernel

Source: systemd
Version: 44-11+deb7u4
Severity: normal

Hi,

I'm aware that older kernels are unsupported in systemd and I have to
forward-port my kernel before I can hope to boot using systemd.

I'm booting an ARM system with a 2.6.38 kernel, which works fine using
sysvinit, with a newly built debootstrapped root file system via NFS.

SystemD starts, and immediately exits with a segmentation fault, leading to
a kernel panic.

Would it be possible to provide diagnostic output in this case and halt the
system via the appropriate system call?
