We have got a bit further along using netconsole to see the kmsg
after systemd turns off syslog.







The obvious difference between a reboot that works and one that
fails is that I see these lines in the good case:







[  135.391206] systemd[1]: final.target changed dead -> active
[  135.391217] systemd[1]: Job final.target/start finished, result=done
[  135.391249] systemd[1]: About to execute: /bin/systemctl --force reboot







But this never happens in the bad case.







How do I track down why final.target is not activated?
