Bug#766092: systemd: Boot hangs indefinitely

[Thomas Zoschke]

Package: systemd
Version: 215-5+b1
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

Dear Maintainer,

I just installed my first systemd, previously had sysv-initcore, well-working.
The boot after the installation hung forever after a timed out job for the
boot drive.
I would have expected the system to boot.
I cannot even get to a sulogin in recovery mode.
Luckily I have a working wheezy and can mount my jessie/sid and chroot to it.
Any help in repairing the mess would be highly appreciated.
I haven't had any experience with systemd, yet.

thx
Thomas Zoschke
