Hmmm, interesting.

Have you booted with that systemd version before?

What about booting with the latest plymouth? Do you use Plymouth? If so
does booting without the "splash" kernel command line argument help here
- i.e. do you see a text-based password request dialog.

How does the boot freeze? Does it just wait forever? I presume (as it's
/home) that you do get out of the initrd OK and the running system
starts to boot?


Cheers

Col
