Hi, I recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 5721 which came with Windows 8. I would like to dual boot this with Fedora but am having problems running the Fedora Install. I have Fedora-19-x86_64-DVD.iso on usb, and whenever I boot with UEFI (secure on or off), the boot process hangs at the line, Reached target Basic System: [ 12.650116] localhost systemd[1]: Started Dispatch Password Requests to Console Directory Watch. [ 12.650553] localhost systemd[1]: Starting Paths. [ 12.650962] localhost systemd[1]: Reached target Paths. [ 12.651376] localhost systemd[1]: Starting Basic System. [ 12.651829] localhost systemd[1]: Reached target Basic System. And then bails out after a few minutes and starts up the Dracut Emergency Shell: [ 35.729286] localhost multipathd[108]: sdc: add path (uevent) [ 35.915042] localhost multipathd[108]: sdc: update path write_protect to '0' (uevent) [ 36.008982] localhost multipathd[108]: sdc: update path write_protect to '1' (uevent) [ 197.571596] localhost dracut-initqueue[395]: Warning: Could not boot. [ 197.574126] localhost dracut-initqueue[395]: Warning: /dev/root does not exist [ 197.578383] localhost systemd[1]: Starting Dracut Emergency Shell... I have pasted the full sosreport.txt at http://pastebin.com/4stUgUDN Please note that if I install in basic graphics mode, I still get the same result. The only way I can get the install to work, is if I boot in legacy mode. Unfortunately after doing this, I can no longer boot up Windows. If anyone knows how to fix this, I'd be really grateful for some help :-) Many thanks, Ed -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
