All right, I guess, I found the solution by removing quiet the grub
commandline.
For those, who got into the same problem as me, here is what I did:
As I wanted to choose between automatically lock up my encrypted partitions by
an usb stick or by hand, I commented out the following line in /etc/fstab
# /dev/disk/by-label/UIT-KEY /media vfat uid=0,gid=0,umask=277
0 0
This was the first point, systemd hanged, because it got into a loop and tried
to find the stick over and over again.
In /etc/crypttab I removed the following lines, too, as they are related to
the usb stick, too.
# home UUID=eab02575-9a67-466f-b44a-ef29ff76053e /media/key1 luks,discard
# usr UUID=7deb2088-44e1-4558-8e84-c5fcb4d2fd2d /media/key1 luks,discard
# var UUID=2318e3e6-0377-4633-9ab5-7fdac9cea2a9 /media/key1 luks,discard
This was the second loop, where systemd hanged and counted over and over from
1 to 6.
After I commented out these lines from above files, I could enter my encryption
passwords and booting worked as wished. Besides, I was impressed how fast it
booted! Wow!
If some maintainer is reading this, some little feedback. It would be nice,
when the message, that the partition is successfully checked would not appear
direct in the linbe, where I want to enter the password. Just not a function
problem, more a cosmetic part. Oh, do not hurry, I can wait!!!
Again, I was impressed, how fast it boots, makes my ssd looking like in turbo
mode. I will now install systemd on my EEEPC, my old single-core AMD amd64
desktop and on my other older computers. After some testing on different
hardware I will just give another feedback.
Thank you for any help.
happy hacking
Hans
