</I>Let me get this straight.  You ran XFdrake for VESA chrooted to your 
root partition, got a decent test, and the real boot *still* screws up 
?  Weird.

If you follow the process I gave, you should be able to start the 
network from within the chroot (provided you were able to start it from 
the rescue boot), or else it should already be up.  You should then be 
able to run urpmi from within the chroot to install the firmware 
packages from nonfree.

You'll need at least kernel-firmware-nonfree.  Here's what else is there:

[<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">root at ftgme2</A> ftg]# cd /mnt/cauldron/x86_64/media/nonfree/release
[<A HREF="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">root at ftgme2</A> release]# ls *firm*
atmel-firmware-1.3-5.mga3.nonfree.noarch.rpm
bluez-firmware-1.2-9.mga3.nonfree.noarch.rpm
ipw2100-firmware-1.3-5.mga3.nonfree.noarch.rpm
ipw2200-firmware-3.1-3.mga3.nonfree.noarch.rpm
ivtv-firmware-20080701-1.mga3.nonfree.noarch.rpm
kernel-firmware-nonfree-20130307-1.mga3.nonfree.noarch.rpm
radeon-firmware-20120322-5.mga3.nonfree.noarch.rpm
ralink-firmware-20130307-1.mga3.nonfree.noarch.rpm
rtlwifi-firmware-20130307-1.mga3.nonfree.noarch.rpm
speedtouch-firmware-0.1-10.mga3.nonfree.noarch.rpm

If that doesn't work, then it sounds like your TTY configuration is 
screwed, and if that's the case, I'm tapped out.  Colin would probably 
be the best one to ask what controls getty under systemd and how it's 
configured.
