This is the GRUB menu. You can choose which entry to boot, and also edit the boot command lines before you select one. So, if you need to add or remove kernel options, select the line with your cursor, and hit the "e" key....

One of the things to remove would be the "rhgb" options, and possibly the "quiet" option as well (is that two options?) Then you can see what the startup is doing and you can then report back the last few messages on the console or some errors that happen during the boot up > I could not find Lenovo firmware updates to flash the BIOS. > > I initially installed Fedora 20 on the Lenovo C540 and I remember the > installation media used to work okay on it. Another thing to try is to boot each Fedora Live image between FC20 and FC23 to try and see where the failure starts. Especially, if FC23 doesn't work, does FC22? > Thanks, > RM -- Kevin J.
