Description Eric Paris 2013-08-27 16:02:25 UTC 
Remove 'rhgb quiet' from the kernel command line in the grub config and add 'debug'.  The system will mostly hang right after it says 'Welcome to $DISTRO'.

It isn't completely dead, as I still get one log line every minute or so.  But 10 minutes the system is clearly not booted and has made no visible progress.  I wonder if there is a sleep 60 type line in the debug code path somewhere?
Comment 1 Kay Sievers 2013-08-27 16:28:26 UTC 
Seem that systemd's own logging gets stuck in the filled-up journal socket,
before the journal is started, and tools only log in 1/min frequency. :)

This seems to make it work for me:
