Uhum well yes this probably is an Systemd upgrade problem I'm pretty 
sure we got a bunch of those lurking around.

If I can recall correctly we dont *officially* support "yum upgrade" 
only preupgrade and Anaconda upgrade and we only test for if the actual 
upgrade tool works not various upgrade scenarios and I personally fell 
that whomever was *smart* enough to open up that pandora's box and 
approve "official" upgrade paths in the first place should be the ones 
that write all the test cases to cover that support..

I always recommend users to keep their /home partition separate and do 
fresh installs each release cycle or every other release cycle depending 
on their use case scenario.

My advice to you do a clean install for F15 or later..

Download the iso there for your platform burn the livecd or stuff it on  
a usb flash drive and boot from it.

If you experience the same problem it's not and upgrade issue if you 
dont it is...
