I've got two Rawhide VMs, one x86_64, one i686, both otherwise identical. I last booted them yesterday and did a yum repo-sync. Today, neither of them will boot. First, systemd complained about being unable to find systemd-journal-flush.service. Sure enough, it wasn't in the initramfs. So I added "$systemdsystemunitdir/systemd-journal-flush.service" to /usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/98systemd/module-setup.sh, and regenerated the initramfs. Now the boot gets past that point, but starts doing this over and over, apparently forever, even in emergency mode: [ OK ] Reached target Basic System.
