Brilliant, that setting for systemd seems to have done the trick! Thanks
a lot!

Yes, I remember that you mentioned you're not using systemd. If this
causes further problems, I might try to figure out how to switch too,
although with this change I am able to boot normally and it seems to be
reasonably stable.
Great to finally have a battery indicator. Now the next best thing would
be to find out a way of controlling the backlight - it makes it a bit
more urgent when you see how fast the maximum brightness drains the
battery (well, and probably other power saving stuff not working
properly too).

Shame about the messed up Windows. Have you been able to fix it with a
Windows boot USB? Hope you won't have to set it up from scratch again (I
ended up doing that recently).
