When booting systemd on a system without KMS (e.g. in a virtualised environment) and I remove the quiet boot parameter, I get a lot of failing SysV LSB services. If I check there status with systemctl status, it shows a return code of 209/STDOUT I used virt-manager to create a default Debian squeeze base system. You can find the image file including the libvirt config at http://www.teco.edu/~biebl/systemd-qemu/ login: root pass: root

I wonder if this is an instance of the EIO problem described here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/554172/comments/245 If so I am tempted to say that the removal of the BKL in .38 is the fix here.b
So I discussed this now with Kay, and we came to the conclusion that we do need to retry opening a TTY on EIO, and this is what systemd git now does. It's ugly, but the kernel folks won't fix this for us properly. Closing this bug now, since I assume this settles the issue. If the problem isn't fixed by this, please reopen.
