[Pkg-systemd-maintainers] Bug#717892: systemd 204: Boot rescue (single) mode hangs

[Jos van Wolput]

>don't see you enabling single mode here?
I'm sorry I erroneously showed you the muli-user kernel command,
the single mode command is:
linux	/boot/vmlinuz-3.10-1-amd64
root=UUID=6358264e-67bc-4443-a14d-eb08d628aaae ro single
upgrade-from-grub-legacy vga=769
(where root=/dev/sda1).

>Are you using plymouth or any other type of splash manager?
I'm using plymouth with Theme=text but it is not used in single mode.

About swap:
In fstab I modified the swap entry into
/dev/sda6  none  swap    sw    0       0
but it is still blokking single mode.

> Boot without quiet and withsystemd.log_level=debug
>systemd.log_target=console
I now boot single mode with command
linux	/boot/vmlinuz-3.10-1-amd64
root=UUID=6358264e-67bc-4443-a14d-eb08d628aaae ro single
upgrade-from-grub-legacy vga=769 systemd.log_level=debug
systemd.log_target=console

This produces a lot of text but I don't find a clue to this issue.

>Take a screenshot if you can't capture the output otherwise.
I can't take a screenshot and don't know how to capure otherwise while the
screen is blokked.
I tried to get the text into a file by changing the kernel command
systemd.log_target=/debug.txt
but the file was empty.
