For boot to stall at systemd-logind means that dbus is missing and not installed.

This also explains why ssh is not listening.

Verify you have these packages:

dpkg -l dbus

dpkg -l openssh-server

While you are in domU console, can you paste:

sudo journalctl -n800 | grep -Pi 'login|Reach|dbus|ssh'

sudo systemctl list-unit-files | grep login | sort

Hello Xen Users :-)

Can this bug be triggered by Xen? It is unlikely Debian 8 has such an
obvious bug.

Boot message: [FAILED] Failed to start Login Service.

What was done ...

On an established production Dom0 running Debian 7 Wheezy with multiple
DomUs, all running Debian 7 Wheezy, created a DomU and installed Debian
8 (= Jessie aka testing) in it with:

xen-create-image \
--broadcast=192.168.42.255 \
--dist=testing \
--fs=ext4 \
--gateway=192.168.42.100 \
--hostname web2.hidden.org \
--ip=192.168.42.103 \
--lvm=blav2 \
--memory=2G \
--mirror=http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ \
--netmask=255.255.255.0 \
--size=30G \
--vifname=vif103.0

Edited the resulting /etc/xen/web2.hidden.org.cfg:

# diff /etc/xen/web2.hidden.org.cfg{.org,}
9a10
> extra = 'ipv6.disable=1'
13c14
< memory = '2G'
---
> memory = '2048'
38c39
< vif = [ 'ip=192.168.42.103
,mac=00:16:3E:E3:6D:F7,vifname=vif103.0' ]
---
> vif = [ 'ip=192.168.42.103, mac=00:16:3E:E3:6D:F7,
script=/etc/xen/scripts/vif-bridge, vifname=vif103.0' ]

Created the DomU:

# cd /etc/xen && xl create web2.hidden.org.cfg

Was able to ping it but not to ssh into it. Used xl console to connect
to the console where saw the message above.

This was the second attempt; three weeks ago we saw the same error.

What to do?

Best

Charles
