I know, but when gdm fails, the system just hangs and I can't access a
virtual terminal or anything - journalctl doesn't seem to store data
about this boot at all :/

For the time being, I've changed my login manager to lightdm and that
appears to work fine. I'll keep testing this from time to time and see
if I can get some logs or error info.
