modprobe vfat
## note any messages for that command and then also
dmesg
## note the last entries that seem relevant

modprobe vfat
returns with no messages at all. The vfat module is not loaded.
There is no file /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
The kernel that is causing my issues is the same kernel I've been running for a while, 3.13.5-103.fc19.x86_64.
Here's the steps that lead to my current problem:
1) log out and run shutdown from button on top right of login screen (I'm running mate desktop)
2) System indicates it's powering off, however, system does not turn off it restarts and boots back to login screen
3) Try shutdown again - same result
4) Get frustrated :-)
5) Hit power button to turn off system.
6) Power system on, goes to emergency mode. And no matter what I do it never gets passed emergency mode.
What I find interesting is that both the root and home filesystems are mounted. So I was able to back up stuff.
I am running LVM, I don't know if this is part of the problem.
I tried booting off an older kernel 3.12.11-201.fc19.x86_64 and it also put me in emergency mode, but when I did an lsmod the vfat module was loaded and there where a total of 69 modules loaded.
If I exit from the emegency mode prompt the process starts all over, the circle fills up, turns into the Fedora "f", pauses for a while and then puts me back info emergency mode.
