Comment 2 for bug 2047456

My first idea is, maybe look to see if this happens on an installed system. If you can, in fact reproduce this, the next step would be to look for kernel logs. If you try booting *without* quiet, and by replacing splash with nosplash, if you don't see *anything* related to systemd units, it's a kernel issue. I don't really work with kernel packages that often, so as for the relevant logs, your guess is as good as mine (and I'm hoping the kernel team has some good documentation).

If it is not at all reproducible with a new install, I'd say the next step is to check other flavors and releases. This could be something that affects all flavors for 23.10, or just us. It could be something with the version, it could be something that affects 22.04 or 24.04 as well. There's a lot that's not certain yet, but let me be clear: verbosity is key here. I'm happy to review full syslogs and full systemd journals. I can certainly *try* reading kernel logs, and I know C/C++ so it's not impossible, but I *definitely* don't have the permissions or confidence to unilaterally deliver a fix.

Thanks in advance for your help!
