Originally thought it was alsa causing this but I’ve since discovered my error in that thinking
If I boot with systemd system hangs after mounting / whereas if I boot with system v it doesn’t
Anyone know of a reliable fix for this as it’s a known issue with a bug report filed but I’ve not been able to find a solution anywhere, could I perhaps remove systemd (and what would be the implications of doing so) or perhaps set the system to boot using system v by default?
I know very little (i.e. nothing) about differences between systemd and system v or whether not using systemd would have any adverse effects
I have issues with systemd also with my RAID1 setup. I believe there are race conditions with mounting in some situations. I haven’t filed a report because I haven’t been able to reliably reproduce the bug or characterise it properly. Just switch back to systemv by adding init=/sbin/sysvinit to your boot parameters. You don’t have to remove systemd or anything like that.
I already discovered trying to remove systemd would be a really bad idea, didn’t know what to add to grub to make it boot with system v or whether it would be inadvisable to do so, added the parm you gave me so I’ll see how that goes
