What am I supposed to do? (I may say Ctrl-D does get me the login screen, but why this message and rigmarole)? It sounds like something required wasn't ready, and caused boot to get dropped at emergency.target. By the time you control-D to continue, the require thing is ready so boot continued. Speculation. Anyway, if you can locate /run/initramfs/rdsosreport.txt and post it somewhere, that'd be useful at figuring out what the problem is.
