I've noticed this too with a couple of other users systems. Not quite
sure what causes it - likely udev.

Yeah this does happen from time to time. It's typically /etc/rc.modules
that actually fails. Again it really depends on the contents of
modprobe.preload.d folder.

No neither would likely give you any hints in this case.

This is likely due to that simply not working yet (drakxservers is not
systemd aware yet). There are bugs open for this.

Are you sure? The %post script should certainly have done that....

[colin at jimmy ~]$ rpm -q --scripts apache-mpm-prefork
postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
ln -s /lib/systemd/system/httpd-prefork.service
/etc/systemd/system/httpd.service 2>/dev/null || :

I guess the only possible explanation I can think of here is that
somehow, apache-mpm-prefork was upgraded before systemd was installed!
Perhaps we need to make sure system is installed early in the process?
