Thanks for the info. Know that Fedora now uses systemd, but my project just boots from the iso using syslinux 6.03 and the kernels built from source at kernel.org. So, don't believe systemd is involved. Even with loglevel=15 no message gets reported. Did find a message with this model having a problem with ubuntu and a bios downgrade fixed the problem??
