 Here are the relevant portions of some boot transcripts as promised. I 
 apologise for the delay. 
  
 Several logs are attached. System behaviour during the attempts was as 
 follows: 
  
 boot1.log - despite the errors, the system comes up, displaying a login 
             prompt; however, after entering the username, the system 
             freezes(the expected password prompt is not shown) 
  
 boot2part[12].log - errors very similar to the first attempt (at first 
                     glance); however, after entering the username, different 
                     error messages appear (instead of a password prompt), 
                     this time indicating much more serious problems, even 
                     suggesting a filesystem corruption (which fortunately 
                     did not happen here, as the system was able to start up 
                     just fine after a reboot with 6.6.13) 
  
 boot3.log - without any changes that I'd be aware of, the system started 
             without any error messages whatsoever; however, after entering 
             the login name, different errors appeared instead of a password 
             prompt 
  
 The first version I found failing was 6.7.12-1~bpo12, so I think the issue 
 was 
 caused sometime between those two (6.6.13 and 6.7.12-1~bpo12). 
  
 Best regards, 
  
 Phil
