I'm experiencing a problem with early-login on two systems updated to
4/25 devel. On each, with early-login enabled, GDM won't allow you to
login. It gives an error that the session died and the details are that
it couldn't run '/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession gnome' or something very close to
that. By removing early-login from the kernel cmdline, things work
normally.
