[systemd-devel] startup problems

[Steve Herber]

I have installed systemd on a gentoo system using the latest
ebuild pulling in the latest git version.  (I just got bit
by this change: build-sys: default rootdir to prefix.  I think
the gentoo ebuild can be updated.  But that is not my problem.)

When I boot using systemd and all the services configured by
the gentoo ebuild,  the system goes into a failure mode and
I don't have a good way to capture the systemd[1] log messages
from the screen.  So this is a request for a set of configuration
files that bring up the most simple system possible.  Is that possible?

Here is an outline of the systemd[1] messages that I think give
and idea of what is happening with my system.  Feedback on the
particulars or recommendations in general are welcome.
Could I be missing a kernel module that systemd does not try to
load?

systemd running in init mode
modprobe autofs4
modprobe ipv6
set hostname to <where did the dots go?>
Why is there a weird diamond character in front of the files?
 	funny/etc/systemd/system
 	funny/usr/local/lib/systemd/system
 	funny/etc/init.d
 	funny/etc

Failed to get dbus connection
Autofs kernel version 1.0

Thanks,
