Bug#761949: systemd: Failed to start multi-user.target when fault to start splash

[Kyuma Ohta]

Package: systemd
Version: 215-4
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

When fault to start plymouth (or another boot-splash command?), 
multi-user.target is not started.
So, TTY1~6 are not usable, only usable of X Display manager.

This incident happenes to use fglrx drm driver and plymouth,
this combination made to crash plymouth.

Workaround of this issue is setting "nosplash" or deleteing "splash" to 
"GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT" variable in /etc/default/grub ,
and update-grub to update grub.cfg.

But, this is abnormal workaround, please fix.

Regards,
 K.Ohta.
