'Twas brillig, and David Walser at 11/04/12 19:09 did gyre and gimble:

+
+Yeah this does happen from time to time. It's typically /etc/rc.modules
+that actually fails. Again it really depends on the contents of
+modprobe.preload.d folder.
+

+
+No neither would likely give you any hints in this case.
+
+

+
+This is likely due to that simply not working yet (drakxservers is not
+systemd aware yet). There are bugs open for this.

+
+Are you sure? The %post script should certainly have done that....
+
+[colin at jimmy ~]$ rpm -q --scripts apache-mpm-prefork
+postinstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh):
+ln -s /lib/systemd/system/httpd-prefork.service
+/etc/systemd/system/httpd.service 2>/dev/null || :
+
+I guess the only possible explanation I can think of here is that
+somehow, apache-mpm-prefork was upgraded before systemd was installed!
+Perhaps we need to make sure system is installed early in the process?
