Description of problem:

I've made upgraded my rawhide from a week old setup to current rawhide.
And after that I've been left with completely unusable system.
The only thing I could see was that  dev-sda2.device timed out.

After playing with the mostly unusable system around - I've tried some other kernels - and notice some of them are usable.

After even more checking and testing - I'm using and build my own kernel and I've been missing CONFIG_FHANDLE kernel option which appears from version 210 to be mandatory to boot my system  (so all my previous kernel are now useless since I keep them for regression tests...)

So - if this is the reason why udev&systemd cannot mount my filesystem anymore (which is kind of interesting since it's been able to do so for years...) - it should at least tell the user the reason why it doesn't work.

I'll attach reports gathered from systemd ramdisk


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
systemd-210-3.fc21.x86_64

How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Try 210 with kernel without CONFIG_FHANDLE
2.
3.

Actual results:


Expected results:
Tell the user where is the problem instead of waiting 1:30 for impossible to happen thing...
