[systemd-devel] need some help understanding systemd-based initramfs

[Ellis]

Hi,
I didn't turn anything off in journald.conf, it is all the default 
settings. I do get every boot log just fine for example within 
emergency.target, also tried with multi-user.target just for the sake of 
trying. I could pastebin them somewhere or at least try to if you want 
to have a look, but I didn't find anything suspicious in journalctl or 
dmesg.
Thanks
