So, this advice is very 'any help'. There should be a directory somewhere, with a switch set that tells the system to do the upgrade reboot instead of a normal reboot. It used to be in /boot/. Removing that directory would revert to a normal boot. You could also edit the restart / reboot by adding noquiet to the kernel boot line, so you can see boot messages. I don't think it is possible to look at journalctl to see what happened in this case, but I could be wrong. Maybe if you booted a rescue disk, and mounted the root filesystem, and pointed journalctl at the file, it would work. I did not find your problem in either the upgrade instructions, or on fedora bugzilla, so we can name it after its discoverer, dnfis artimus. The problems I did find about rolekit mostly seemed concerned with SElinux, so you might also add an enforcing=0 to the boot line if you go that route. You need someone a lot more knowledgeable than me helping you, though. These are just stabs in the dark. -- 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?
