Referring to Lennart's HEADS UP: Heya, just a little heads up for when you upgrade a rawhide system that is a few weeks old to current rawhide: since we changed the way how some of the default symlinks of systemd are created you will end up with an installation that lacks many of the necessary symlinks -- but only if you upgrade from a systemd version from older rawhide to current rawhide. It's really only a problem in this case. It is not a problem with fresh F14 installations, and it is not a problem with upgrades from F13. The fix is easy: after upgrading just run this command as root and the missing links should be created: # systemctl enable getty@.service prefdm.service getty.target rc-local.service remote-fs.target And that should make things work again. Sorry for the late heads-up. Lennart Could this fix your boot hang? tom -- Tom London -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
