Good evening (night),
I have searched all over the web and I can't find a solution to my problem. I received an information of my VPS provider saying I should upgrade the kernel because of a hole in LTS version. So I checked different websites and I upgraded the kernel with jessie backports. And when I rebooted, all service were stopped. I was only able to connect with a special console. When I tried to launched for exemple ssh or nginx, it failed and got that error message :
INFO: task (plymouth):3580 blocked for more than 120 seconds
Not tainted + kernel version
I tried to load the old kernel and the same happens.
When I looked at the journalctl after startup, I got these error messages
piix4_smbus smbus host controller not enabled
intel_rapl : no valid rapl domains found in package 0
local-fs.target : dependency failes for Local File Systems
Service 1 has finished shutting down
Service 2 has finished shutting down
..... has finished shutting down
Failed at step EXEC spawning /bin/plymouth : no such file or directory
I think it may be a problem with systemd or Grub but I didn't find a solution.
Thank you for your help if you have an idea.

Re: No service starts after kernel upgrade
Those websites you found on the web have it exactly backwards. Security fixes will be backported to the the standard Jessie 3.16 kernel sooner that to the jessie-backports kernel. In fact, the backports repo makes no guarantee that any of the packages there will get security fixes.

Re: No service starts after kernel upgrade
OK, so I just should have waited... Is there a solution ? I also seen that after each command trying to start a service, a "hangup" appears but on the same line of m'y command line.

Re: No service starts after kernel upgrade
A lot depends on the virtual hosting environment and you likely need a suitable kernel, not just a generic one.
Probably talking to your provider will be the best way forward.

Re: No service starts after kernel upgrade
The problem is that even when I boot on the old kernel, I have this problem. Some people are talking about swap partition. I will check that later.
