In the GRUB menu, press e to edit the default boot entry. Find the linux16 or linuxefi line, scroll to the end and remove rhgb quiet. Add systemd.log_level=debug rd.shell and then either control-x or F10 to boot. You should get a ton more debugging information, and when there's a failure you'll get a shell. There you can mount some volume like a USB stick somewhere like /mnt or if that doesn't exist then use /sysroot and use: journalctl -b -l -o short-monotonic > /sysroot/journal.txt umount /sysroot And then get that journal.txt file put up somewhere and post the URL here. You might be able to figure it all out just by removing rhgb quiet boot options; the failure cause may be on-screen so you could try that first. -- Chris Murphy -- 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?
