M2 x86_64 on acer extensa 5620Z laptop, windows on sda1,
+(used the DVD successfully on 3 desktops, install OK there)
+
+Problem: routine install, reboot drops out to emergency mode.  Nothing
+in syslog which didn't exist, and wasn't written to on another reboot
+after I manually created it.
+
+'esc' during reboot shows normal startup messages including 'Started
+/dev/disk/by-uuid...'
+then
+Failed to start /media/windows
+See 'systemctl status media-windows.mount' for details.
+Dependency failed. Aborted start of Mark the need to relabel after reboot
+Dependency failed. Aborted start of Setup links in /boot for running
+kernel
+Dependency failed. Aborted start of Relabel all filesystems, if necessary
+Welcome to emergency mode....  Give root pwd. for maint...
+
+A bunch of messages I've never seen before.  At one point there was a
+message about losing touch with the boot process, forgotton the exact
+wording.  Not seen that since.
+
+I would do this the day before an overseas trip!  Just as well preserved
+a couple of functional partitions.
+
+
+The suggested systemctl call above, showed
+process: 432 ExecMount=/bin/mount /media/windows (code=exited, status=21)
+mount[432]: fuse: device not found, try 'modprobe fuse' first
+
+modprobe fuse: gave no output
+

modprobe fuse never gives output, but check in dmesg if you see anything
+fuse related after that. or check with lsmod | grep fuse if it's loaded.
+
+as a quick fix, you can comment /media/windows in /etc/fstab
+(perhaps adding noauto as parameter)
+
+or find a way to load fuse at startup, but i heard that
+/etc/modprobe.preload isn't used for that anymore with the new modprobe
+tools.
+
+

Ideas would be more than appreciated!

Commented out the fstab line for windows.
+Gets me to a login screen of sorts, but touch-pad mouse and keyboard are inoperative and can't Ctrl-Alt-Fx to change screens.
+Think its frozen the laptop.
+Ah well, something to investigate on a plane while battery lasts.
+
+Not a good laptop experience so far, although uneventful on desktops.
