First remove 'rhgb quiet' from the linux line, found in the grub menu. Highlight the entry you want to boot, hit e to edit, and then scroll down to find the linux line. This won't pause. If you're having a problem seeing the error message, and it happens early enough that /sysroot hasn't yet mounted rw, then you can add rd.break to boot parameters and that will drop you to a dracut shell where you can look at the journal for failures, something like: journalctl -xb | grep -i fail Or just journalctl -b and scroll through until you find the problem. The journal is started right away, but isn't persistent until /sysroot is mounted rw, so this is a way to get access to early messages and troubleshooting if you can't ssh in or read the journal once you get a login prompt.
