Description of problem: With systemd-191-2.fc18, systemd process (process 1) constantly segfaults on boot, and boot sequence cannot proceed. This segv happens at very early stage and no logs is left for this segv. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): systemd-191-2.fc18 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot 2. 3. Actual results: process 1 segfaults, boot sequence stops. Expected results: No systemd segv Additional info: Had to downgrade to 188-3.fc18
selinux is disabled.

In case if system will be switched off, it will be not able to boot. Downgrading help. After downgrading systemd, systemd-libs, systemd-sysv, libgudev1 to version 0:188-3.fc18 it is still not possible to shutdown, because /dev/initctl, but switched off system can boot again and after work as expected. PS: I can not identify which exactly: systemd or libgudev1 or systemd-libs or systemd-sysv is buggy.
Well, getting backtrace when reboot with systemd-191-2.fc18 is very difficult... because this segv occurs at very early stage. By the way, (although not sure the following issue is the same as the one on boot), like Sergei's comment 2 segv also happens when just upgrading systemd from 188-3.fc18 to 191-2.fc18 like: [root@localhost systemd-new]# rpm -Fvh *rpm Preparing... ################################# [100%] Updating / installing... 1:systemd-libs-191-2.fc18 ################################# [ 10%] 2:systemd-191-2.fc18 ################################# [ 20%] Message from syslogd@localhost at Sep 24 21:52:50 ... kernel:[82425.955159] systemd[1]: segfault at 7d ip b7449447 sp bff385a8 error 4 in libc-2.16.so[b73c9000+1af000] 3:systemd-analyze-191-2.fc18 ################################# [ 30%] 4:systemd-sysv-191-2.fc18 ################################# [ 40%] 5:libgudev1-191-2.fc18 ################################# [ 50%] Cleaning up / removing... 6:libgudev1-188-3.fc18 ################################# [ 60%] 7:systemd-sysv-188-3.fc18 ################################# [ 70%] 8:systemd-analyze-188-3.fc18 ################################# [ 80%] 9:systemd-libs-188-3.fc18 ################################# [ 90%] 10:systemd-188-3.fc18 ################################# [100%] /var/log/messages says: Sep 24 21:52:34 localhost dbus[1974]: [system] Reloaded configuration Sep 24 21:52:47 localhost systemd[1]: Reexecuting.

Using glibc-2.16-15.fc18.i686
It looks like bug is in mainstream, because not only fedora package is affected. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1164825
Looks like this is https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=55213
Fixed in git, will update bodhi soon.
