Systemd disk errors, booting fails with certain kernels
Hello,
I seem to be having systemd disk errors when booting. I'll add a smartctl report but my laptop's SSD is only a few years old and more importantly this issue only happens with specific kernels so I believe the disk is fine.
I don't know how to retrieve logs for a boot that never completes so I'll attach camera pictures, sorry about that.
My disk is fully encrypted using Luks but these issues happen after my password is accepted.
From what I can see I get a bunch of IO errors and then systemd gets stuck running start jobs on my disks which never complete.
As I said one kernel is fine while my newer kernels have this problem so I don't believe the disk is failing.
4.8.8-300.fc25.x86_64 (doesn't work)
4.8.6-201.fc24.x86_64 (doesn't work)
4.8.4-200.fc24.x86_64 (doesn't work)
4.7.9-200.fc24.x86_64 (works)
I am running Systemd version 229.

The main errors that I see when the start jobs are running are from journald failing to write entries because the file system is read only.
I think your picture is missing the start of the problem. Try removing
quietandrhgbfrom the kernel command line in grub.You could also try booting one of the live images from http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/l... which should have a 4.8.x kernel now. That way you would be able to get better log info.
I actually just ran a Fedora 25 upgrade so I'm running 4.8.8. 4.7.9 is still the only kernel that will boot for me though.
I removed rhgb and quiet and I have some pictures of the error messages before the never finishing start jobs begin.

I'll try a live image and see if it runs differently
Turns out I'm an idiot and forgot to actually generate the new grub.cfg. With rhgb and quiet actually off the text is a little too fast to follow. The point where I get stuck though prints the same text over and over and seems to be about ACPI errors.
I managed to get a picture but the text moves too quickly to read so it's not the clearest: http://imgur.com/a/C671V
I would recommend filing a bug report for this. One thing you could try is adding
acpi=offto the kernel command line. You don't need to modify the grub config. Just edit the boot entry from the grub menu.I'll give that a try and file a bug with Systemd.
Thanks for the help
