This one is more likely due to something in the initrd than the kernel.
The boot got to where dbus was activated and then services started failing.
Again I was in a hurrry and just went back to 3.18.0-0.rc0.git9.5
and the system booted normally.
I suspect this is some interaction between systemd and some unusual
configuration on a couple of my machines. I have at least one machine
that boots rc2 and one that still has the problem with rc2 (and one I
don't want to reboot right now, but was having the problem when I last
checked).
I did a bit of testing and the problem does seem to be dependent on
the kernel version as the version that worked previously kept working
after I rebuilt the initramfs. The problem is still happening as of
3.18.0-0.rc2.git3.1.fc22.
The logs don't get written to disk for the failed boots even though they
appear to get pretty far and I was hoping they would. So I need to go
back and looking at things during the failed boot and see if I can find
where things start going wrong. Given that other people aren't screaming
about this, I suspect it is related to old hardware or maybe software raid.
I'm pretty busy this weekend so I may not make much progress, but we're
still early in the 3.18 series so there isn't a rush yet.
