I have a HP ML110 machine where I tried to upgrade to systemd. It boots to a state where the monitor goes blank (nothing on it but on) and stays there.
This also happens with the newest ArchLinux Installation Medium (November Release).
This happens with systemd and initscripts. Even tried to boot into single user mode showed the same behavior.
It seems that the graphics chip changes from text mode to graphic mode (with higher resolution) and fails at that. The graphics chip is a Matrox MGA G200e. Anybody got such a chip running with a recent Archlinux installation? The last kernel that worked was a 3.4 but I could not find a package for this kernel.
With the kernel 3.5 a new driver for the said Matrox chip was introduced. Falling back to a kernel 3.4 series returned the system to a working state.
