[Bug 1447038] Re: Shutdown/Restart of live session guest does not work in Virtualbox, and VMWare

[Tim]

Phill,
   Boot with "systemd.debug-shell plymouth:debug" added as kernel params then when it hangs switch to VT9. You will probably need to manually remount  a partition/usb to get the logs out, since you will be quite late in the shutdown cycle.

grab `journalctl` output and /var/log/plymouth-debug.log

I can't reproduce on my laptop, though I did poke around previously in a
VM. vbox was I recall having drm issues, vmware just seemed racy (it
worked maybe 1/5 reboots).
