Description:
Systemd 229 crashes on assert during boot. Here's the relevant part of the log (full log is attached):

Feb 14 21:28:28 black-dragon systemd[1]: Caught <ABRT>, dumped core as pid 306.
Feb 14 21:28:28 black-dragon systemd[1]: Freezing execution.

Because of the crash the system becomes unusable to the point the only thing that works is sysrq.

Additional info:
Reverting back to systemd 228-4 fixes the problem. I was able to start in the rescue.target, but the multi-user.target always crashes.

Steps to reproduce:
try to start system with systemd 229

  • Field changed: Percent Complete (100% → 0%)
Still happens in 229-2 (core).
Same error message about assertion, same line number.
Please verify that's not packaging error.

Sigh, nevermind. Typo on my part...
Comment by Dave Reisner (falconindy) - Friday, 19 February 2016, 03:20 GMT
Please try systemd 229-3.

Ok, I downloaded 229-3 from testing, it works.
Please update core.
