Remove the rhgb and quiet options. This won't fix the problem, but it should show you what's happening before the hang. It could be that your initramfs file is corrupt - it doesn't have references to the correct disks. If so, booting into rescue mode, chrooting to the real root and running dracut again might fix it. But that is just a guess. On my system, with a separate boot partition I'd run: dracut -f /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r) Regards, Chris -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
