Bug#897917: Stretch kernel 4.9.88-1 breaks startup of RPC, KDC services
I have also seen this on a couple of SSD-only systems.
I think the problem is that the random number generator takes about two
minutes to initialize, long enough for systemd to give up on these
processes. Unbound is similar, but there unit file keeps trying until
the random numbers are available.
>From the log:
May 5 10:19:02 ano2 kernel: [ 126.436729] random: crng init done
Pressing the keyboard a few times (thus providing entropy) will allow
the boot to continue.
This definitely seems to be a kernel problem.
