Bug#776044: emergency mode hidden prompt

[Daniel Pocock]

Package: systemd
Version: 215-8
Severity: important


Immediately after upgrade from wheezy, the system booted up and
displayed the emergency mode prompt but also started running fsck.

There are many filesystems and the emergency mode prompt/greeting was
scrolled away by the fsck output.

When fsck finished, the screen was full of fsck output and the final
line of the screen did not give any clue that the system was waiting for
an emergency mode login.

This gives the impression the system may be broken or frozen.

Looking at the boot output, it was not obvious to me why it had chosen
to display the emergency mode prompt.
