<pre>Boot-time info reported by journalctl (systemd 204-1) is often inconsistent
between essentially identical boot cycles. The inconsistencies take the form of
randomly missing messages from the journalctl output. These lacunas can make it
very challenging to understand exactly what is going during the boot sequence.
This problem is documented in detail in the following posting on the Arch
forum:
<a href="https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=163633">https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=163633</a>
The posting contains information on how to reproduce the problem.
If you prefer, I can transcribe that posting here. Just let me know and I'll be
happy to do so.
As an aside, I suspect -- but have no hard evidence -- that this issue may be
related to the oft-reported journalctl corruption issue, e.g. as reported here:
<a href="https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1239783">https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1239783</a></pre>
