boot hangs at “Started Update UTMP about System Runlevel Changes.”
i've just upgraded my debian system from debian stretch to debian sid which not stable version so after i finished upgrading and try to reboot my system hangs at "Started Update UTMP about System Runlevel Changes"
i search the internet for solution most of them were talking about video card problem
so i've tried every solution but none of them is working
also i tried to install nvidia driver manually using .run file so i get an error saying
failed to run /usr/sbin/dkms build
i am using nvidia G 210 VGA
linux debian upgrade dkms

You say that message appears on reboot, but does that mean on startup or shutdown? If it's on shutdown, then hit Alt+SysRq+{R,E,I,S,U,B} (hit Alt+SysRq and tap each of the letters) to perform a reboot and then manually force a downgrade back to stretch.
If your system hangs on startup, you can bypass systemd by booting into a bash shell. On boot, tap Esc until the GRUB menu appears, highlight your operating system, press e to edit, add init=/bin/bash to the end of the line starting with linux, and press Ctrl+x to boot. From there, you can remount root as read-write via mount -oremount,rw /, bring network interfaces up via ip or ifconfig, and downgrade to stretch.

But I also saw Virtualbox having a problem in theboot sequence before this hang, so I used the jessie install CD to boot into rescue mode with networking, dropped into root on the HD root partition, and:
- apt-get remove virtualbox
- apt-get remove virtualbox-dkms
Then rebooted, and there was no hang.

You say that message appears on reboot, but does that mean on startup or shutdown? If it's on shutdown, then hit Alt+SysRq+{R,E,I,S,U,B} (hit Alt+SysRq and tap each of the letters) to perform a reboot and then manually force a downgrade back to stretch.
If your system hangs on startup, you can bypass systemd by booting into a bash shell. On boot, tap Esc until the GRUB menu appears, highlight your operating system, press e to edit, add init=/bin/bash to the end of the line starting with linux, and press Ctrl+x to boot. From there, you can remount root as read-write via mount -oremount,rw /, bring network interfaces up via ip or ifconfig, and downgrade to stretch.

I had the same problem rebooting after upgrading from jessie to stretch. At first, I tried fixing the problem by removing the xserver-xorg-video-intel package, per other solutions reported, but this did not solve my problem.
But I also saw Virtualbox having a problem in theboot sequence before this hang, so I used the jessie install CD to boot into rescue mode with networking, dropped into root on the HD root partition, and:
