Only the rescue option “vmlinuz-0-rescue-d227a01724864faa96106c8194003a31”(kernel 4.8.6-300.fc25.x86_64 x86_64) boots. vmlinuz-4.12.13-300.fc26.x86_64 vmlinuz-4.13.11-200.fc26.x86_64 vmlinuz-4.13.11-300.fc27.x86_64 have the same failure mode: Last log entry “Started User Manager for User ID 42” Cursor is displayed at the center of the screen Screen background turns gray and the computer freezes. ----- Original Message ----- > I'm trying to install F26 on an older laptop using the Live DVD. > When I boot the DVD, everything seems to work until the "Started > User Manager for UID 1000" message.
