Description of problem:

Since last rawhide update my boot hangs: kdm is not started and there are no working virtual consoles started for text mode recovery.  This is an i686 VM

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Systemd-15, rawhide update on 25-Nov-10
 
Actual results:

Boot hangs, but GPM is started and systemd responds to ctl-alt-delete.  No text consoles are available.

Expected results:

Normal KDM login screen.

Additional info:

Reverting to systemd-14 fails the same way
Reverting to systemd-13 boots normally, kdm starts up OK.

Looking through diffs of serial console logs this is logged in systemd-15 but not systemd-13:
