"Failed to talk to init daemon"

My AFP server stopped working, so I decided to reboot it:

pi@raspberry-pi-server:~ $ sudo reboot Failed to start reboot.target: Activation of org.freedesktop.systemd1 timed out Failed to open initctl FIFO: No such device or address Failed to talk to init daemon.

Any idea what's up?

I ran apt-get upgrade, as this seems to be some sort of kernel issue.

Now we are stuck on:

Unpacking raspberrypi-bootloader (1.20170427-1) over (1.20170405-1) ... Setting up raspberrypi-bootloader (1.20170427-1) ... Removing 'diversion of /boot/start.elf to /usr/share/rpikernelhack/start.elf by rpikernelhack'

and have been for quite some time...

That's a symptom of systemd dying. I've had that happen to me before, and I've needed to resort to "magic sysrequests" to reboot.

There are ways for a root user to activate the magic sysrequests via the filesystem, if you can't type them with a SysRq key, eg over a network connection.

Looks like the SD card is faulty:
