[SOLVED] When I try to upgrade to systemd-232 systemd PID=1 crashes

Trying to upgrade system to the latest version in testing. My systemd process 1 (PID 1) coredumps, after this the system cannot be restarted or shutdown. No *ctl tool provided by the systemd package can connect to the bus. By power cycling the system reboots, but hangs during boot. Reverting systemd to version 231 fixes.

Has anyone experienced something similar or now how to solve this?

Re: [SOLVED] When I try to upgrade to systemd-232 systemd PID=1 crashes

PID 1 crashing is probably considered a bad thing smile  I have not seen it, but the first thing that comes to my mind is -- do you have microcode updates for your processor installed?
Second, what does your disk space in your root and temp file systems look like?

Re: [SOLVED] When I try to upgrade to systemd-232 systemd PID=1 crashes

tl:dr: still crashing

I installed the "intel-ucode" package and added the image to my in EFI loader configuration and verified it is loaded properly. I than tried upgrading "systemd" to version 232-2 again. Btw, the system architecture is x86-64.

I also tried "mkinitcpio" afterwards, and without it, and did the whole update progress again using "rescue.target", result stays the same. System won't boot and hangs before mounting the drives.

Log entries while installing systemd:

Re: [SOLVED] When I try to upgrade to systemd-232 systemd PID=1 crashes

Still happening with systemd-232-3.

Nov 24 19:28:25 thor systemd-coredump[30634]: Due to PID 1 having crashed coredump collection will now be turned off.
Nov 24 19:28:26 thor systemd-coredump[30634]: Detected coredump of the journal daemon or PID 1, diverted to /var/lib/systemd/coredump/core.systemd.0.bb26ea685f95430f906e0b38e8728894.30633.1480012105000000.lz4.

System is not bootable!

Also:

$  /usr/lib/systemd/systemd --test --system
Aborted (core dumped)

Should I open a bug report? Any other advice?

Re: [SOLVED] When I try to upgrade to systemd-232 systemd PID=1 crashes

Okay I found the problem. So I have a multi boot setup with Windows. Somehow the partion names were messed up. One of the symlinks in /dev/disk/by-partlabel/ was named "†††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††††". This caused systemd to crash.

I fixed this using gdisk/cgdisk and renamed these, using only the standard alphabet a-zA-Z.

Output of blkid:

Re: [SOLVED] When I try to upgrade to systemd-232 systemd PID=1 crashes

A bad label shouldn't cause PID1 to crash though... please file a bug upstream:
