Not much progress. My usual method of editing the kernel line to get

Reached target Multi-User
Reached target Graphical Interface
and there it sticks. Does that give any clue as to what is failing,
and what I need to do to rescue the system?
Boot a rescue disk and mount your root partition. In
/etc/systemd/system you should see a symlink like:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 36 Mar 29 11:00 default.target ->
/lib/systemd/system/runlevel5.target
Just remove this and re-symlink to /lib/systemd/system/runlevel3.target
and you should get a level 3 boot.
