found if I remove quiet and and boot with rd.break on the linux line of my boot config I can get at the file that you're talking about, but have to umount /sysroot then mount -w /dev/sda2 /sysroot (sdx would change if diff). the file can then be removed. I tried redoing the process and it hung every time. strange, I've done about 8 systems this way flawlessly. g.

I haven't run this upgrade, and I'm not familiar with it beyond
reading the mailing list. 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.
