I tried to reboot after some software upgrades (which were released during the last few days). The system switched to a text console, showing a stray boot message, "[ OK ] Started Postfix Mail Transport Agent.", but did not proceed with the reboot.
Is there something I can do to debug this? Should I boot from a rescue system and save some log files? (The system is currently still stuck, but I doubt there are any magic keys to unlock it.)
Alt+F1, Alt+F2, any VTs loaded?
Run in single user?
Once in, have a look at /var/log for interesting things I guess.

Nope, and systemd isn't spawning shells anymore.
I guess I have to reboot and save what's still there.
Possibly linked to it: I had similar situation last night after reboot with new packages and updates installed. I installed from KDE from DVD image, then added 'Development and Creative Workstation' group and all current updates. After reboot login took me to Gnome fist time configuration. Confused, I wanted to login on a VT but there was none available, all I got was a cursor at the left right corner of the screen, no text, no login prompt. After I finished the configurator, logged out of Gnome, and logged into KDE, I see VTs work again.
