do you have a choice of logins, like KDE/gnome??
maybe you didn't allow enough space for root..
Does "TTY" count? I'd be quite surprised if changing DE works when I
can't log in at a TTY either. It *might* be kdm, though I don't claim to
know how to change that.
BTW, 'systemctl start graphical.target' from single-user mode also kills
the system.
Then you definitely have a graphics issue. Bring it up in single user
mode and have a look at the /var/log/Xorg.0.log file to see if there's
anything that might point to an issue. I had an issue on one machine
with nouveau on a specific video card. Using an nVidia binary blob
driver overcame that.
does # df -h
show enough space in root?
/ 108G
/boot 336M
/boot/efi 55M

New system, remember? There's nothing on it but the initial install
(modulo updates). I haven't even gotten to installing additional
software that I'll eventually want, because the system is unusable ATM.
if you can get in as single user you might look at journalctl to see
what happened when it locks up
Hmm... is it expected that there are no entries *at all* for the last
few boots? The only entries I have are for June 5. (And yes, my system
date is correct: June 18.) Anyway, I have no idea what I'd be looking for.
If it croaked before the log entries got flushed to disk, yeah, that's
possible. By default, syncs to disk occur every five minutes so if
journald or systemd seize up before that period, you have no logs. Yet
another stupid idea forced on us by the systemd/journald idiocy.
