Systemd: unable to mask service using kernel parameters
I'm trying to create GRUB menu options that will allow to skip launching GDM and, eventually, launch LightDM instead of GDM (so options for text-mode booting isn't a solution). I have added systemd.mask=gdm.service to kernel command line, like in this link, but GDM starts anyway.
Tried systemd.mask=gdm, it didn't help either.
Menu option is (formatted for readability):
linux /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/mapper/vol-name rw
cryptdevice=/dev/sda5:root
root=/dev/group/vol
resume=/dev/mapper/swap-vol-name quiet
nvidia-drm.modeset=1
module_blacklist=nvidia
systemd.mask=gdm.service
Systemd is version 241 and systemd-debug-generator, which is responsible for parsing the option, is present in /usr/lib/systemd/system-generators.
Distro is Arch Linux.
