I rather doubt the problem is with the machine, which runs
Fedora 21 without problems.  It is even running PC-BSD 10.1
which Phoronix reported ran on only one of its test systems.

Besides, the graphical rawhide installer runs normally on the system.

Once I tried installing a newer Rawhide on my Office computer with the 
same results.

Before the turn of the year both systems could run the current rawhide.

rsync/pxeboot or boot.iso, rawhide has forgotten how to run X.
