Both. When they occur during init they repeat during shutdown. Even when I let init complete and succeed to fix the typo or oversight, the init failure gets remembered and repeated at shutdown. Often the start job is on account of a volume label that has been replaced, usually along with a UUID, because the clone is a partition on the same HD. Fedora is particularly frustrating by embedding dependent root volume label and not obeying root= on cmdline (openSUSE obeys root=). Those typos usually have to be fixed by chroot to run dracut. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
