27 Yeah, sure ;-)
28
29 Reporting issues/bugs from a system running with systemd very often
30 leads to these fundamental statements "see what happens ... !?" :-)
31
32 I am still trying to spot the reason. As mentioned in my other reply
33 currently it seems to also timeout/hang with openrc for me.
34
35 Right now I downgraded systemd, rebuilt dbus, dracut, procps ...
36
37 From a live-cd I am able to mount /, start the 2 raid-arrays, activate
38 VGs and LVs ... everything useable.
39
40 Currently I rebooted kernel 3.14.2 and get another:
41
42 "A start job is running for Activation of LVM2 logical volumes" ... from
43 systemd-212-r2 (tested -r3 and stable 208 as well)
44
45 Removing the "real_init" from the kernel line chooses openrc and also
46 leads to a hanging boot.
47
48 So a next step seems to comment the LVs from fstab and check if it boots
49 then.
