Ubuntu 14.10 server startup

In order to redeem my reputation, I did some more research and tried a few things with my server. After doing the following I no longer get the error message and my server seems to be behaving normally. I used this page SystemdForUpstartUsers for guidance.

What it did I have not clue, but it seems to work. I have a feeling that Upstart and Systemd are conflicting. With forcing to install Systemd, Upstart is removed.

apt-get --force-yes install systemd-sysv ubuntu-standard
update-initramfs -u

here is my output:

Hope this helps somebody.

I also had this issue on a relatively fresh install of ubuntu 15.10 as above answer says this solved it for me

    sudo  apt-get install systemd-sysv

I had the same dmesg as above additionally my symptom included failure to boot up from a suspended state which forced me to cold boot each time
