It turns that /media/bootkey was missing, and putting "nofail" there got the system booting successfully. This was just a regular unencrypted USB flash drive, which had spontaneously zeroed itself a few months ago but was still listed in my fstab. Running journalctl showed a message about it, but it wasn't obvious--there was some similarly-highlighted text about a missing /bin/plymouth (apparently not an actual problem) and a bunch of other verbosity that filled up the screen. I'm reducing the severity because this is a configuration problem. You can close it if you want, or leave it open and try to detect situations like this during installation or boot (since it works with sysvinit). I'm splitting off some other bugs I noticed (see the attached screenshot): * systemd shouldn't be pausing startup to show password prompts for anything marked "noauto" in crypttab, or anything with a keyfile * it should show an obvious message describing why it went into emergency mode * after printing "Welcome to emergency mode!", it took a minute or two before a password prompt was shown; but that prompt died (I guess) without accepting any keyboard input, and after another few minutes I got another welcome message and password prompt (it worked this time) -- Michael
