Systemd is disabling coredumps during bootup, claiming that it's "Due to PID 1 having crashed". However, aside from that log line, I can find no evidence that PID 1 actually crashed, and the system continues to boot normally. Log lines immediately afterward indicate that udevd has crashed at the same time, but again, it appears to recover, as the system boots normally afterward and "systemd[1]:" log statements continue to appear.

Setting LogLevel=debug in /etc/systemd/system.conf and rebooting produces a hell of a lot of extra logs, but nothing that mentions PID 1 crashing or provides any additional details about the udevd crash. Same for setting udev_log=debug in /etc/udev/udev.conf. coredumpctl lists the udev crash, but makes no mention of the purported "PID 1" crash (note, this log is from a separate boot, so the PID and times are different from above):

This is the reason for this message. Normally only systemd itself should
be in this cgroup. How exactly do you start systemd?
