This does not appear to be a journal from a failed boot.

It contains....

Jun 12 15:47:27 localhost dracut[5060]: Executing: /usr/bin/dracut -f
/boot/initramfs-4.16.14-200.fc27.x86_64.img 4.16.14-200.fc27.x86_64

Which happens when a new kernel is being installed.  It also contains references to
sessions with uid=1000 which is normally the first user created at install time and
would only appear at a successful login or ssh session.

Your subject seems to imply that you never get to login screen at either a graphical
or run level 3 boot.

Suggest you also edit your boot parameters to remove "rhgb" and "quiet" to watch the
boot process more closely.
