The same kernel on the f22 had the same behavior. The kernel x86_64 4.1.10-100.fc21 is working. The following log is from working kernel: [ 0.452476] smpboot: Total of 2 processors activated (4000.29 BogoMIPS) [ 0.460310] devtmpfs: initialized [ 0.477700] clocksource jiffies: mask: 0xffffffff max_cycles: 0xffffffff, max_idle_ns: 1911260446275000 ns I reinstalled the kernel, regenerate the initramfs. This same initramfs is booting fine on another (different hw) f23 machine. I don't know where to look further. I can open a bugzilla bug report, but I am not fully convinced that it is only a kernel bug. _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/kernel
