Hi Karl,

Thanks for taking the time to report an upgrade report.

I can see that the archlinux report (link found in the forum posts)
suggests this is a problem between ACPI and systemd/udev.  If you have
acpid instaled, have you tried to uninstall acpid and unmask
systemd-udev-settle?

Note we have a issue between acpid and logind noted in our release notes[1].

Thanks,
~Niels
