I ry to switch to systemd following the wiki article https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Systemd. I have installed the 'systemd' package and try to boot into systemd after having manually added 'init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd' to the kernel parameters in GRUB. The boot starts, but hangs after a while and then drops me into emergency mode.
The last lines on the console are:
...
[ OK ] Mounted /var
Starting Load Random Seed
[ OK ] Started Load Random Seed
[ OK ] Mounted /boot
[ TIME ] Timed out waiting for device dev-mapper-vg2\x2dmusik.device

Welcome to emergency mode! Type "systemctl default" or ^D to enter default mode.
Type "journalctl -b" to view system logs. Type "systemctl reboot" to reboot.
(or type Control-D to continue): _
(There may be errors in the above code - it is hand typed. If you would just accept photos ...)
The only way so far has has been to reboot into the 'old' system.
What have I done wrong??
Any help and/or pointers will be much appreciated.

PS replacing the 'sysvinit' package with 'systemd-sysvcompat' only makes things worse, because doing that makes it try to boot into systemd every time, even though the 'init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd' line is no longer present among the kernel parameters. I had to use SystemResqueCD to remedy that situation.

It fails to find your LVM volume. I guess you are simply missing lvm.service. Log into emergency boot, enable lvm.service and reboot.
systemctl enable lvm

That was it! Thanks a lot, 65kid. It also solved my automounting problem https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=152953. I can now continue my climb up the learning curve.
