[systemd-devel] Systemd fails start up

[Alex Bosworth]

I upgraded systemd to version 44 on my exherbo system and ever since Systemd fails at boot time. 

I've upgraded/reinstalled all the packages that install files to /etc/system/systemd and /lib/systemd and the directory /lib/systemd doesn't exist anymore. I've also checked for links under /etc/systemd and everything is in order.

(udev has been upgraded to 182.)

When system boots the root file system gets mounted successfully and systemd is started but freezes with the message "failed to fully start up daemon: operation not permitted". The only option at this time is to hard reset my computer. 

Systemd even fails to launch rescue and emergency shells with the same message.

Any pointers as to how I can debug this ? 

I've tried to edit the source files inserting log_error statements to help diagnose the problem. It apparently continues to execute despite the above mentioned error message. I'm having hard time to figure out exactly at which point it bails out.

Any help in this direction will be highly appreciated.

Thanks

Alex
