+At this point I'm probably stuck. I've been doing these tests by
+forcing a level 1 boot, but now even that may not be possible. These
+are the latest boot messages:
+
+broadcom-wl (....)Already exists on this kernel [OK]
+Checking for new hardwareWelcome to rescue mode! Type &quot;systemctl
+default&quot; or ^D to enter default mode ##Yes, that's how it looks, lines
+joined.
+Type &quot;journalctl&quot; to show system logs. Type &quot;systemctl reboot&quot; to
+reboot. [OK]
+##didn't do any of these as I was not watching the screen
+
+Failed to issue method call: Transaction is destructive.
+
+Last resort -
+
+I edited out the &quot;splash quiet&quot; and called for level 1 again. This
+time it completes, very quickly.
+
+'systemctl show prefdm.service | grep ActiveEnter.*Mono&quot; ' simply
+returns to the prompt.
+
+All the borg2 mounts are commented out for now.
+
+&gt;<i> If it still fails, then try starting prefdm.service manually
+</I>&gt;<i> (systemctl start prefdm.service) and see what happens.
+</I>
+Nothing at all happens. It returns to the prompt.
+
+We have all spent a lot of time on this. There are files on the
+netbook that I must recover, so now it's decision time. It would
+probably be easier and quicker to grab the latest image (in which case
+can you remind me where to go for that) but I am willing to continue
+if there is any possibility that what we discover could save grief for
+others.
+
+What do you think?
