Sorry to be a pain, Frank, but I've never been able to understand the

For some reason, even after all this time, I never know exactly what

OK, you have two choices.

if you have a local cauldron mirror or can do network installs, you can 
boot isolinux or boot.iso and type rescue at the initial text screen 
prompt.  From there on, you pick a mirror as you would for a network 
install, and the only difference is that it will load the rescue kernel 
and run the rescue application rather than the standard install.


Or, you can boot the classic install ISO, and one of the GUI choices 
should be Rescue.


Once you get the Rescue panel, select Go to Console.  Then type 
drvinst, since rescue tends to lag modern hardware, and probably won't 
see SATA disks without the additional drivers.


Then mount your root partition.  Rescue provides a /mnt node, so you can use
  mount -t ext4 /dev/sdaX /mnt
You can then make the symlink modifications in /mnt/etc/systemd/system 
and reboot from the root partition.

Actually, you probably want to first chroot /mnt and then use

ln -s /lib/systemd/system/runlevel3.target 
/etc/systemd/system/default.target


as I can't swear offhand what the effect of linking in the rescue system

But it's odd that you don't have a default link already.

If you don't even get text mode, this sounds like the old problem of 
radeon drivers which require nonfree firmware not having the firmware 
available.  There was a long stretch where, if you had such a card, you 
needed to install with the x11 vesa driver, boot, install the firmware, 
and then use XFdrake to switch to the radeon driver.


Do you have a card that uses the radeon driver ?  If so, did you enable 
nonfree during the upgrade ?


You can try the following:

1) Boot the rescue system
2) drvinst
3) mount your root as /mnt
4) do a mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev
5) do a chroot /mnt
6) do a mount -t proc none /proc
7) do a mount -t sysfs none /sys
8) do XFdrake
9) choose the x11 VESA or VGA driver (way down at bottom of list)
10) reboot and see if TTY mode now works

If it does, then add nonfree as a urpmi repository and install the 
nonfree radeon firmware package.  Then run XFdrake in the real system to 
set yourself back to the radeon driver that XFdrake should default to.


If you're not using radeon, you may want to do (1) - (10) anyway just to 
see if your system works with the basic driver.

cross-avr-gcc


See bugzilla: https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7825

Looks like an incompatibilty between the object gcc (which is now 4.7.2) 
and the target gcc (the specfile still pulls in 4.6.2).


To make cross-avr-gcc build
- cross-avr-binutils (which is used as a dependency) must be rebuilt
  to use binutils-2.23 (the present cross-avr-binutils uses 2.20),
- cross-avr-gcc must be re-built to use gcc-4.7.2 (and some tweeks - see
  bugzilla 7825)

I have locally made such a build and successfully use it in production
for building the software for my AVR cpus (attached my specfile = 
attachment 3044).


The reasons why I did not submit my local build are that there are some 
serious rpmlint warnings (serious at least for cross-avr-binutils: 
complaints about the use of hardlinks) which I did not manage to get rid 
of - but also that I did not want to interfere with the work of the 
maintainer.

and these all install and kate appears to be fine.

I have again re-built libreoffice with boost-1.53 and also tested calc,

There are still some test issues with gnuradio, but these can be fixed 
later with updates.


libyui now builds with a patch from upstream git thanks to anaselli,

So, as far as I am concerned all issues have been dealt with and I have

Let me get this straight.  You ran XFdrake for VESA chrooted to your 
root partition, got a decent test, and the real boot *still* screws up 
?  Weird.


If you follow the process I gave, you should be able to start the 
network from within the chroot (provided you were able to start it from 
the rescue boot), or else it should already be up.  You should then be 
able to run urpmi from within the chroot to install the firmware 
packages from nonfree.


You'll need at least kernel-firmware-nonfree.  Here's what else is there:

[root@ftgme2 ftg]# cd /mnt/cauldron/x86_64/media/nonfree/release
[root@ftgme2 release]# ls *firm*
atmel-firmware-1.3-5.mga3.nonfree.noarch.rpm
bluez-firmware-1.2-9.mga3.nonfree.noarch.rpm
ipw2100-firmware-1.3-5.mga3.nonfree.noarch.rpm

rtlwifi-firmware-20130307-1.mga3.nonfree.noarch.rpm
speedtouch-firmware-0.1-10.mga3.nonfree.noarch.rpm

If that doesn't work, then it sounds like your TTY configuration is 
screwed, and if that's the case, I'm tapped out.  Colin would probably 
be the best one to ask what controls getty under systemd and how it's 
configured.

 Boot a rescue disk and mount your root partition.  In
 /etc/systemd/system you should see a symlink like:

 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   36 Mar 29 11:00 default.target -
 /lib/systemd/system/runlevel5.target

 Just remove this and re-symlink to /lib/systemd/system/runlevel3.target
 and you should get a level 3 boot.
 
 
 It's actually easier than that.
 
 Add systemd.unit=multi-user.target on kernel / grub command line and
 ith will boot to runlevel 3

Or simply add a 3 onto the command line as has been the case for many
years :)

Of course I should probably discourage that seeing as 3 is pretty
meaningless in absolute terms these days! :)

 Thanks the point - I never aborted.  Assuming I did, is there a way to
 clean this up?  Rebuild rpm database??

 I get this warnings each time MageiaUpdate applet after was used, then
 urpmi is used.
 
 i NEVER reproduced .But, using your testcase i can.

Yeah, I frequently get these messages. I also use a mix of MageiaUpdate
and urpmi directly.

Are you sure ?

IIRC there has been reports of people doing it and still eneded up at 
graphical.target ...

 Just to avoid a crazy amount of scripting with svn checkouts and such
 like, I've set running a git svn clone of the cauldron package
 subversion tree.

 That said, running git blame takes *ages* even on an SSD drive. It was
 at least a couple minutes to display the results of a blame on a spec file.

  Let me remind you of the other suggestion:
  Put each package in a separate git repo, and then use submodules to bind
 all of them together into the Mageia repo..
 
 Somewhat surprised that it takes so long - LO's core repo is much
 larger and is reasonably fast, even on traditional disk.
 Maybe git maintenance commands (gc and/or prune) may help? Care
 uploading the repo to github or similar?

I can push the repo somewhere sensible if you wish, but it's not likely
super useful unless you have the git-svn branch too.

But I've done pruning of the empty commits (i.e. those ignored via
--ignore-paths with git-svn) which took 3 days to run in a tmpfs
filesystem!, and also done a git gc --aggressive. The times posted are
what results from that.

Rebooting, nothing has changed.  I get grub, lots of disk activity led

Try editing the kernel parameters in grub.

Remove splash quiet, if present.

Add  3 xdriver=vesa.

The 3 gets translated by systemd to systemd.unit=multi-user.target,
is shorter to type, and easier to remember.

I tested with an install from Mageia 3 beta 4, and can confirm it still
works.
