I apoligize again, but I'm totally out of this loop for the time being. 
Installint systemd's build dependencies pulled in the broken systemd 
package again I thought "oh fine, that gives us a better testing 
environment" and progressd to with the build process with the broken 
systemd instaled.

During the ninja -C build systmctl part, the systen crashed. I guess it 
ran out of memory or out of disk. Booting with the broken systemd of 
course fails, leaves me in an initramfs shell without any modules 
loaded. After loading the necessary modules to see /dev/sda and to be 
able to invoke lvm vgscan, the machine stopped at the lvm vgchange -ay 
step and is now hanging for an hour at this point.

I can reset the machine from remote, but that just does fail the same 
way, and I won't be present at the machine again before monday. I THINK 
that I'm going to take that hint and not repair the machine and just 
decommission it. Should I need it again before my last Banana Pi goes 
out of business, I might repair the system and then return to this issue 
here, but I hope that won't happen.

Sorry for not being to help. Does it work on i386 or another 32bit arch?

Greetings
Marc
