  On a VM I had enabled 'CONFIG_LOCKUP_DETECTOR=y' & 'CONFIG_DETECT_HUNG_TASK=y'
to detect hung tasks and to panic on hard or soft kernel lock-ups. After a while it did panic with a hung task trace.

On another machine that I left over night, it says - Failed to load SELinux policy. Freezing.

I've restarted it with - systemd.log_level=debug systemd.log_target=kmsg enforcing=0.

Is there a way to see what systemd(1) is doing after it says - Starting Switch Root... - ?
