Nothing.  However, by now I burned a new image to DVD with the
attached patch.  But I realize my mistake now; due to dbus-daemon
eventually starting after networking failed, the logs are lost.

I inserted the DVD in an external drive for my slightly faster Macbook
(but the DVD drive seems much slower) and (realizing unlike USB I
needed to add nomodeset) I got the same error.  So the error occurs
when booting any computer from DVD, it seems.

I attach the unhelpful logs, even though I believe the dbus-daemon log
got overwritten by a subsequent successful start …

I do not know how to keep earlier logs.  Maybe I need to pipe it in a
custom gexp?

Regards,
Florian
