I installed MX KDE 21 and it works fine so far, but for various reasons I'd like to use systemd, but the laptop refuses to boot when I select it. I tried with the 5.15 and 5.10 kernel, same result. These are the error messages I get:

As a test I tried to boot with a different installation of MX XFCE 21 (also with 5.15 kernel) and there it worked, so the issue might be related to how the KDE version differs from the XFCE version.
As a note, the error messages up until "TPM interrupt not working, polling instead" also appear when I boot regularly with SysVInit (both XFCE and KDE version), so maybe they are not relevant for this issue.
