I don't have "quite" enabled. I'd expect some message of severity ERROR 
from systemd-fsck. From the kernel itself I get lots of non-critical 
informational messages, so I think it is not a problem of wrong kernel 
argument(s) in this case.

I tried that. It didn't say anything except that the process died. No 
discriptive diagnostics at all.
Probably I'll try to reproduce everything and redo tests, but I have to 
note that the situation in question is basically a compete system 
failure and after I reproduce it I'll have to reinstall the system from 
the beginning, unless I understand the reason of failure and fix it by 
hand. That is why I'm trying to gather as much information as possible 
before I start.

Thank you,
Nikolai
