Runlevel 3 after fedup

[T.C. Hollingsworth]

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:

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:

Okay that looks good. Does
/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty at tty1.service exist?

If not, do:
ln -sf /usr/lib/systemd/system/getty at .service
/etc/systemd/system/getty.target.wants/getty at tty1.service

Then try booting into runlevel 3 again.
