Ah, hm. I'm going to continue thinking that it's systemd then, because I have
no other guesses.

I'm at a loss for what's different here. For what it's worth, deleting the
nouveau package didn't end up helping. Same symptom.

I'll let the install sit for a bit and see if anyone else has suggestions,
and if there are none I'll figure out something else to do. It's unfortunate,
because if this worked I was going to do the same on a couple desktops here
with similar hardware.

Maybe I'll try CentOS 6 just for kicks. I have until 2020 for the world to
cough up something better than systemd. :P
