Hi, b17 <bwtnguy@yahoo.com> (2017-07-11): > Installation is fine, first boot is okay, but all further boots fail because > systemd.backlight.service tries to restore a kbd backlight that does not > exist on the machine. This is a two year old issue since around kernel 4.1 > the solution is : > # systemctl mask systemd-backlight@leds\:dell\:\:kbd_backlight.service > -or- > kernel parameter > systemd.restore_state=0 > > Without this the machine hangs HARD on every boot. It has kept me from > using stretch on this machine for months now. Maybe we need a blue screen > of death to make things even more like that other os? > > It's really a shame that this has been reported to systemd and kernel devs > and they failed to follow up. Maybe we can try a debian-specific workaround > or at least provide some documentation? Can you please share links to upstream or debian bug reports? KiBi.
