LFS 10.0 fails to boot. Systemd freezes

Hi ,
I checked my boot files and fstab and they looked ok. Was wondering if
anyone else has ran into this. First time this has happened

Thanks CK

# file system mount-point type options dump fsck

menuentry "GNU/Linux, Linux 5.8.3-lfs-10.0-systemd" {
linux /boot/vmlinuz-5.8.3-lfs-10.0-systemd root=/dev/sda8 ro
}

/dev/sda8 / ext4 defaults 1 1
/dev/sda6 swap swap pri=1 0 0
