2016-08-24 Thread Borden Rhodes
After 3 months of going Little Red Hen on this, I think I figured it out. My system had live-config & live-boot (with their dependencies, live-boot-initramfs-tools, user-setup, live-tools and live-config-systemd) installed. An aptitude purge command on these packages got my system booting normally
