Thanks Rahul! It looks that the thing is seriously buggy. Indeed after I followed your advice a system is up in that sense that, for example, I can log on over a network. 'boot.log' ends up with: .... Starting Self Monitoring and Reporting Technology (SMART) Daemon... Starting Starts/stop the "at" daemon... Starting smartd: Starting atd: [ OK ] [ OK ] [ OK ] and that is it. No further progress and no local login of any kind; either graphic or console. Quite possible that this is an issue identified in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=618315#c3 I do not see any tty programs running. If this is the case that would make the last sentence in that comment rather false. At this moment I have to do other things so trying to figure that out have to be delayed for better times. I wonder what if I have a system which boots only to a text console (I do have such things but they do not run rawhide). It seems that 'graphical.target' as a 'default.target' would be not something to be used. In any case a number of services in a systemd sequence ended up as "failed". OTOH these could be, for example, something like "Starting Initialize SCSI tape drives with /sbin/stinit". Who, on earth, asked for it?
