These settings are the same than these on 204-8 (testing) or 204-10
(unstable)

I've installed 208-1 and it's better but not completely.

I begin the test from a graphical session and I do :
- Ctrl-Alt-F1
- login as root
- type systemctl start debug-shell.service to have a true rescue console
if there are problems
- type systemctl rescue
- I obtain in-line the prompt to give the root password
- I type the root password
- I can type some commands and after about 15 seconds the screen is
erased and I obtained the classic login screen on virtual console
- I type root
- before asking for password it is write "System is going down"
- after entering the password it takes 45 seconds to have the prompt
- I can do what I want in the console
- if I closed the session I obtain the prompt to login but I see in tty9
that there are no more processes running than before I close the session.
