SystemD creeping out of a new MX Linux installation

by

from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4WM5V)
I have two installations of MX Linux as virtual clients in VB.

Installation 1 is old and it was first installed as MX Linux 17 then updated up to current version of MX Linux 19.

Installation 2 is a fresh installation of MX Linux 19 from iso followed by system update.

Both installations are up to date MX Linux 19.

Should be identical? Not so much:

In both cases I use custom kernels.

MX Linux (update 17 to 19) works well so I used exactly the came kernel config file to update freshly installed MX Linux 19

.. and I see the following error after issuing:

after reboot, system just hangs on initramfs and that is all. Yes, I can select previous kernel and system boots, but I wonder why using the same kernel config file old MX Linux 19 boots without any issues while the new fresh install complains about systemd and PID1?

note:
antix also works with the same custom kernel config so the issue of systemd/PID1 is related only to the fresh installation of MX Linux 19latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=dSFtTa7gLok:9C9fnatc4v4:F7zBnMy latest?i=dSFtTa7gLok:9C9fnatc4v4:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=dSFtTa7gLok:9C9fnatc4v4:gIN9vFwdSFtTa7gLok
