Can't boot after Tumbleweed update

I can’t boot after updating tumbleweed. I can’t switch a virtual terminal and when I tried adding “3” to the kernel boot options to try to boot to a terminal, nothing changed.

It appears to connect to the USB devices, and afterward hangs with the following messages:
Failed to send WATCHDOG=1 notification message: Connection refused
Failed to send WATCHDOG=1 notification message: Transport endpoint is not connected

Well, I tried doing a fresh install of Tumbleweed. There seems to be an issue with systemd.

I did “zypper dup” and get through ~240 packages with no issues. After systemd is updated, I get:

(243/531) Installing: systemd-232-2.1.x86_64 .......................................[done]
Additional rpm output:
Failed to reload daemon: Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.systemd1': timed out


Then, many subsequent packages start reporting the same message, for instance:

(274/531) Installing: udev-232-2.1.x86_64 ..........................................[done]
Additional rpm output:
Failed to reload daemon: Failed to activate service 'org.freedesktop.systemd1': timed out
