Re: Install OK, installation not



Hello Ulrich,

Nice old slow machine :-)

Well, sort of.

The install itself was slow, but went OK. After first forgetting that
PALO can't read ext4... Anyway, everything went fine after I choose
the automatic partitioning.

Good.

Until I booted the fresh install. After the normal boot messages I got:

systemd[1]....
systemd[1]: Set hostname...
systemd[1]: /etc/mtab is not a symlink...
systemd[1]: Assertion 'sigaddset(ss, sig) == 0' failed at
             ../shared/util.c:2548, function sigset_add_many(). Aborting.
systemd[1]: Caught <ABRT>, core dump failed
systemd[1]: Freezing execution
[abbreviated, extra line breaks inserted, STI framebuffer, sorry]

Which was rather surprising for me, as I thought systemd was *not* mandatory.

It's not mandatory. I'm not sure how it was selected for installation.
Did you modified the selection to be installed?

Can I get rid of systemd with an extra option during install or expert
install or such?

Without any selection systemd was not installed the last time I tried to CD...

 I'm not a fan of systemd anyway and this experience did
nothing to change it...

You could try to fix your installed system with something like this:
- boot the kernel add add "init=/bin/bash" to the kernel line (at PALO prompt)
- after bootup run in Linux as root "mount -o remount,rw /"
- fire up network, e.g. "ifconfig eth0 up && dhclient eth0"
- run "apt-get install sysvinit-core"
- reboot
