Happened again, non-lsb this time: https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/main/builders/nightly-mips/builds/897/steps/Running%20Sanity%20Tests/logs/stdio moving to M+.
Comment 3 Chen Qi 2016-08-30 07:54:05 UTC 
The current version of systemd (v230) has some boot failures on mips and mips64.
I've tried the latest systemd git version, there's no such problem.
Note that v231 also has the same problem.

Comment 4 Saul Wold 2016-09-14 16:30:00 UTC 
This issue seems to have cleared up after the kernel 4.8 update along with some other patches to address races.

Closing for now, can be reopened if further failures are seen
