Description of problem: Systemd does not complete boot after yum upgrade from F13 to Rawhide. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): systemd-sysvinit-5-2.fc15.x86_64 How reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: Try to boot Actual results: Boot hangs after starting all services (between last service and mingetty / X, I think). I am still trying to figure out how systemd boots, so I have not yet been able to pinpoint where in the process the system hangs. Expected results: System should boot Additional info: Adding init=/sbin/upstart results in the system booting fine. Also, the following works: 1. Boot into single user mode 2. /etc/rc 5 3. gdm
I think you'll find that the post-install script of systemd-units-5-2 failed to enable the necessary services (getty, prefdm, ...) because systemctl segfaulted (bug 621200). Use "yum history info systemd-units" to see if there was any unusual output from the scriptlet.
Confirmed as the effects of bug #621200. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 621200 ***
