[Clfs-dev] GIT-20140618-x86_64-Pure64 Boot problems

[Martin Ward]

Hi

Systemd 213 is causing me problems with a some partitions failing to 
mount at boot time ,although the root partition is fine.

Any additional partitions ones including the swap partition just time 
out and drop me into a emergency shell after 90s

Bit of surfing around seems a few people have had this problem,any body 
else seen this, 212 was fine?


I upgraded to systemd-214 and this solved the issues but due to new 
features had some missing users and groups that were needed

Solved this by adding the appropriate uid's and gids to /etc/group and 
/etc/passwd

which now look like this

root:x:0:
bin:x:1:
sys:x:2:
kmem:x:3:
tape:x:4:
tty:x:5:
daemon:x:6:
floppy:x:7:
