[SOLVED] Boot message: [ SKIP ] Ordering cycle found, skipping Timers

During boot I get this message:

[ SKIP ] Ordering cycle found, skipping Timers

What does this mean and do I have to do something?

You have to tell us what units you start. I'd suggest debugging as in http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/Debugging/ . And then post the logs...

It seems to have to do with NFS entries in /etc/fstab and a bug in systemd as indicated in this Debian bug report

Now, excuse me while I go find some brain bleach.  That search result was buried in a bunch of hits on the human reproductive cycle and failures of birth control methods

@Leonid.I, that was helpful. I've disabled promising units and found psd.service to be the one behind this message. I'll ask for an explanation in the support thread. Thank you!

@ewaller, that's a different error message. Thanks nonetheless!
