Didn't happen on 2 of the 3 machines I updated from F21 to F22, but
perhaps there were crumbs left over from the upgrade. They all booted
and run just fine and I don't think I saw any weirdness, but perhaps
there was something the first boot didn't like. My machines do tend to
become sorta "muddy" over time (I beat the kapok out of them) and
anything's possible.

No, I haven't upgraded to F23 yet. Still waiting for the dust to settle
a bit more.
