Kernel 3.11.2-201 rebooting issue

I just installed the latest kernel, and subsequently the latest 
akmod-nvidia drivers from testing. Whenever I boot into XFCE and then 
choose to reboot, it goes to a black screen which says "rebooting," but 
it hangs there.

If anybody can point me to a fix...thanks ahead of time...

If it's not this:

then file a new bug.

I have been having a similar problem for the past few weeks....
I posted about it a few days ago but got no replies.
I can reboot from the lightdm greeter...but any attempt to reboot
from within a window manager or DE results in a black screen with
"rebooting" at the top.

It all started apparently with this kernel.

This is exactly what it does in my case, but strangely enough, only on 
one of my machines - two others are fine; however, in my case it started 
with kernel 3.11.2-201.fc19.x86_64

I just updated again and have same issue. I booted to a previous kernel 
which wasn't problematic, and it no longer reboots/shutsdown properly, 
so, obviously, it isn't kernel related. Is there something I can do 
"manually" to fix this? I'm a novice at all this...

It ***appears*** to be a systemd problem which seemingly doesn't 
affect too many people other than you and I and perhaps 2 or 3 others.

Perhaps you could ad your comments/experiences to the bug report ?

Right now I'm feverish with some respiratory virus and paying attention 
to emails sporadically. I noticed I have to register for the bug 
reporting, but before doing so I need to know how I can dig for more 
info. Would there be a specific log file I should consult? I did an 
update yesterday and the day before. In the latter case it was to the 
latest kernel, and yesterday I saw a systemd update get installed, to no 
avail. Nothing has changed - reboots and shutdowns still hang.

Kernel 3.11.2-201 rebooting issue (or systemd?)

IMO this is rather systemd issue than kernel. When systemd arrived
in Fedora, I have steadily lots of issues with this - sometimes
system will not do shutdown (stay in phase when display something as
"power-off target reached" but computer isn't switched off), sometimes
will not reboot (it stop in stage as before when doing shutdown - very
amusing when it is remotely managed machine), sometimes system will
not boot correctly and stay in stage when GUI nor CLI not accessible
and only option is switch system off.
And there are other somtimes important systemd issues, as impossibility
to cleanly switch between different targets (e.g. graphical or
multi-user to rescue and back) and so on.
And this status is after three years when systemd is implicit init
in distro, and after that in the name of big, excellent systemd was
done lot of compromises at other Linux system places!
Maybe systemd will someday working satisfyingly, but its't actual
implementation is rather a tragedy.
With SYSV init or upstart was not these problems there.
