This sounds like a previously discussed issue with "upgrading a system
to systemd".
Referring to Lennart's HEADS UP:
Heya,
just a little heads up for when you upgrade a rawhide system that is a
few weeks old to current rawhide: since we changed the way how some of
the default symlinks of systemd are created you will end up with an
installation that lacks many of the necessary symlinks -- but only if
you upgrade from a systemd version from older rawhide to current
rawhide. It's really only a problem in this case. It is not a problem
with fresh F14 installations, and it is not a problem with upgrades from
F13. The fix is easy: after upgrading just run this command as root and
the missing links should be created:
# systemctl enable ge...@.service prefdm.service getty.target
rc-local.service remote-fs.target
And that should make things work again.
Sorry for the late heads-up.
Lennart
Could this fix your boot hang?
