Description Ralph_Ulrich 2014-01-06 00:43:32 UTC 
Warm reboot doesn't have problems, but I shortly see 
two little blue quadrats (see later!)

If I cold boot my system stops with this message:
"Jan 05 19:03:50 maci systemd[1]: Started Setup Virtual Console."
And above I see two little blue quadrats.

This is a mac-mini core2duo from 4 years ago. I gpt-partitioned with 4 hybrid mbr partitions in front of my 10 partitions, from the 3. debian-sid I am able to chainload grub-mbr mode, which doesnt' have problems to boot any partition.

I can efi boot my 3.Debian-systemd-204 partition at any time. 
But my 4.Gentoo-systemd-208 will only succeed when rebooted.

I can cold boot into Gentoo-systemd-208 in emergency.target
But as soon as I issue the command
systemctl isolate rescue.target
I only get to the point "Started Setup Virtual Console."
I cannot reboot then, because it is a crash. I have to pull the power cable.

To not taint the kernel I changed from proprietary nvidia to nouveau, which works quiet well with mesa-10 and xorg-server-1.15
But the cold boot crash happens anyway :(
It doesn't provide me any logs :(

It is totally nouveau related:
If I don't compile that kernel module I can efi cold boot
Comment 2 Lennart Poettering 2014-02-21 14:03:06 UTC 
Ok, then please file a bug against the nuveau kernel module. Closing.
