Well I have a few things perhaps of interest.
I have problems with the firstboot setup and root password. I am using the
installer script and the --norootpass option. When I am prompted at the
setup, I ignore the setting of the root password. Fortunately I also did not
set my user password and made my user have admin priv. Because when I got to
login, it wanted a password for root and I could not figure out what. In the
past I would just provide 'root' for the login and I was good. So I logged in
with my user and did a 'sudo passwd root' to set the root password to what I
wanted.
I have to assume systemd is starting something like:
/bin/bash -i
rather than the former (and familiar) root shell without
login authentication. The same behaviour may be done under
older initscripts
And put this in /etc/inittab if you want the behavior where it
is not prompted:
1:2345:respawn:/bin/bash -i
The first line, and comment, in /etc/inittab says this file is no longer
used and any changes in it will have no effect on your system. All in
caps by the way.
Robert -- could you check your system and see, and advise the
list of the results of your examination?
So how is systemd started?
