Public bug reported:
Typing "systemctl rescue" in a running system brings down the system and
prompts
Welcome to rescue mode! After logging in, type "journalctl -xb" to view
system logs, "systemctl reboot" to reboot, "systemctl default" or ^D to
boot into default mode.
Press Enter for maintenance
(or press Control-D to continue):
Unfortunately the system is then completely dead. No keyboard entry works, not
even 7 times
Ctrl-Alt-Del reboot the system.
I have this behaviour on a real 16.04 system and on a VirtualBox VM.
On the VM I currently have problems entering rescue mode by GRUB
selection (different problem to be files separately), so these two bugs
combined make it impossible for me to enter rescue mode there.
