So now I have my first pure systemd machine running (and to be clear, systemd has nothing to do with this bug). Ten more to follow if all goes well... A few notes/questions. * I forgot to run mkswap during the initial installation. The 'Partioning' and 'File systems' links from the install guide wiki page don't mention mkswap - maybe it should be mentioned somewhere (it is if you go deeper, e.g. on the 'Swap file' page). Strange thing is that cfdisk showed the unitialised partition as ext3, as did blkid, while fdisk showed it as swap (82). * Installed xdm-archlinux and enabled the corresponding service. This gives me a graphical login on tty2 instead of the usual tty7. Is this as intended ? * What is the purpose of halt.target ? It stops the system but leaves power on. AFAICS, it's not possible to restart without a power cycle... * This machine *never* worked with nouveau, not even recent versions. But now by magic it does !
