Oops, I seem to have misread the original post. I was under the
impression that you weren't getting a login prompt at all, but upon
rereading I see you said:
After upgrade from 17 to 18 with fedup and installing all the updates
I was
unable to login as any user other than root. When I tried I was greeted with
the message: "System is booting up".
So you get a normal login prompt, just nobody else but root can login?
That's probably not systemd.
But in case I was correct:

Yes.

Okay that looks good. Does
/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty(a)tty1.service exist?
If not, do:
ln -sf /usr/lib/systemd/system/getty@.service
/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty(a)tty1.service
Then try booting into runlevel 3 again.
