Oops, I seem to have misread the original post. I was under the impression that you weren't getting a login prompt at all, but upon rereading I see you said: > After upgrade from 17 to 18 with fedup and installing all the updates I was > unable to login as any user other than root. When I tried I was greeted with > the message: "System is booting up". So you get a normal login prompt, just nobody else but root can login? That's probably not systemd.

Does /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@tty1.service exist? If not, do: ln -sf /usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service /etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty@tty1.service Then try booting into runlevel 3 again. -T.C. -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
