Shouldn't that hda3 in the kernel line be sda3?
No, he said earlier in the thread that this is an ancient box using the
old deprecated IDE subsystem.
His fstab refers to drives as hd?
Yes, I saw that after I hit Send. (So what else is new?)
Seems to me that too many things need updating before Joseph can switch to the
latest thing in init systems.
Maybe he should go back to his last working system (from backup?), go through
his kernel config piecemeal, setting sensible options, and generally bring the
box up to date. Then he can start experimenting with the latest ideas. (Sorry
Joseph, I don't mean to talk about you as though you weren't here!)
I forget: how many years is it since the ancient /dev/hd? scheme was
superseded and deprecated?
Dim memory tells me it's somewhere around 2006/7?
I agree with your suggested approach. Joseph should first get world
fully updated and synced, then switch the kernel disk system over to the
new framework, verify all that as working nicely, and only then activate
systemd. Like Canek said, systemd doesn't magically get installed and
them just work. It runs at too low a level for that to happen in all cases.

I'm running on this box linux-3.10.17-gentoo so it is fairly new. I updated my
world 1-month ago.
I usually update every three months. First backup system, if there are no major issues after a week or so I upgrade few other system and if everything goes smooth I
upgrade the main system with the same three.
Is is possible to have packages without "systemd" flag.
I was just rebuilding
gnome-base/gnome-settings-daemon
and it wants to pull-in: sys-apps/systemd-208-r2
and this conflicts with udev.
I'm not switching to systemd anytime soon, got burned recently and have no time to learn new configuration settings.
