I have seen a problem with systemd-185-5. It seems to block mounting file 
systems late in the boot process. There is also a plymouth change that is 
required going from systemd-185-2 to systemd-185-5 and the real problem 
might lie there.When I manually recover from the mount issue, gdm doesn't 
seem to run (though maybe the display just isn't updated). Falling back to
systemd-185-2 and the older plymouth got things working again. I haven't 
received any feedback on the bug report yet.
