Created attachment 446797 [details] dmesg output Description of problem: I'm not able to boot with systemd. With upstart there is no problem. My computer is an Asus PRO50N (AMD Turion 64x2 processor). There is a rescue shell so I was able to have the output of dmesg (see attachment) with "systemd.log_level=debug". Also, with the rescue shell, halting the system doesn't work, the last message is "System halted." and nothing happens after that. But I think this issue is related with Bug 630935. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): systemd-9-3.fc14 How reproducible: Always during boot with systemd. Actual results: Get a rescue shell. Expected results: Boot entirely without any problem.
From the log: init[1]: Failed to load configuration for default.target: No such file or directory init[1]: Failed to load default target: No such file or directory Probably a consequence of bug 627401. Please fix your /etc/systemd/system/default.target to point to an existing unit in /lib/systemd/system, such as graphical.target or multi-user.target. > Also, with the rescue shell, halting the system doesn't work, > the last message is "System halted." and nothing happens after that. If you use just "halt", that's the expected result. You want "poweroff" or "halt -p". Feel free to reopen if I guessed wrong. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 627401 ***
Seems your /etc/systemd/system/default.target symlink does not exist or points to a not existing location. Is this an upgrade from an older rawhide? If so, then please follow the recommendations from these two heads-up posts: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2010-August/140294.html http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2010-August/140301.html Or is this a post-alpha fresh install? if so, then anaconda created the wrong default.target symlink, and you should fix it manually: ln -sf /lib/systemd/system/graphical.target /etc/systemd/system/default.target
It was a fresh install, and indeed the link was broken. Now it works, thanks.
