Any advice on what could be wrong or what to try next?What I've tried:After the hard reboot, Grub loads, the kernel starts and I type in my encryption password like normal. But it eventually dumps me into emergency mode, asking for root password. The file system is mounted RW and all my files seem to be there as normal. When I type 'runlevel' it says "runlevel unknown' and an 'init 3' or 'init 5' command brings up the Fedora booting splash screen but drops me back to the command prompt without allowing me to login.Current state:I walked away from my computer and decided to enable screensaver and lock by using the "screen lock" hot corder (sorry, forgot the KDE term). When I came back the screen saver hadn't locked and I couldn't move the mouse (system clock on the Task Manager hadn't moved either). I tried to recover using various key presses, including Ctrl-Alt-F-key to open a new terminal. Eventually I gave up and hard rebooted because nothing seemed to work to unfreeze my system.Issue background:I have a Dell Precision workstation, with two HDs, and full disk encryption. The two HDs are combined into three logical volumes, swap, root, and /home.System background:Hi Fedora Wearers,I'm having some boot problems on my Fedora 18 workstation, KDE Spin.
I checked the documentation (e.g. here) and most of that seems to refer to grub not working, or volumes not mounting, none of which applies to me. I checked /var/log/messages but nothing seems to be obviously wrong in the logs.
Thanks,
Kyle

I think I had a like problem to this that I solved by putting the partitions on the same drive, rather than using separate ones.
