Is this the best place for systemd assistance? First, systemd worked. Now it hangs on bootup, with the following messages: Loading, please wait... systemd-fsck[249]: /dev/sda5: clean, ... plus one similar fsck msg.
After a minute or two it asks me for root pwd or to Ctrl-D for normal bootup. I can get a root prompt, but normal bootup just appears to hang again... So I now edit grub entry and use /sbin/init to log in to post this. Looking at syslog, I get these sorts of red-colored entries (when viewed with vim): Nov 19 14:31:12 localhost kernel: [ 0.045814] x2apic not enabled, IRQ remapping init failed Nov 19 14:31:12 localhost kernel: [ 0.723077] pci0000:00: ACPI _OSC request failed (AE_SUPPORT), returned control mask: 0x0d Nov 19 14:31:12 localhost kernel: [ 4.793539] iwlwifi 0000:03:00.0: request for firmware file 'iwlwifi-6000g2a-5.ucode' failed.

Then there's it gets into time gap territory - of about 12s first, then 20s, then 5s etc as seen from this point: Nov 19 14:31:15 localhost dbus[2425]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.UPower' Nov 19 14:31:27 localhost acpid: client 2946[0:0] has disconnected Nov 19 14:31:46 localhost acpid: client connected from 2946[0:0] Nov 19 14:31:46 localhost acpid: 1 client rule loaded Nov 19 14:31:51 localhost dbus[2425]: [system] Activating service name='org.freedesktop.UDisks' (using servicehelper) Nov 19 14:31:51 localhost dbus[2425]: [system] Successfully activated service 'org.freedesktop.UDisks' Nov 19 14:32:05 localhost kernel: [ 62.696092] usb 3-1.4: new full-speed USB device number 5 using ehci_hcd Perhaps it's too early for systemd and its bootup time improvements (of course, not booting up takes a lot longer :) ??
