If so, I can use that... thanks No, there's no longer an interactive option, since it's no longer a linear boot. Any chance that you're seeing: Welcome to emergency mode! After logging in, type "journalctl -xb" I suspect that you're dropping into emergency mode, but it is failing to launch the login prompt and rebooting. You could append 'rd.break' to the kernel command line in grub2 to make the initramfs break before trying to switch over to the boot OS, so you could poke around a bit more. The OS is in the /sysroot dir, you can chroot and run commands like rpm -V and journalctl to see if there's any useful data. -- Jonathan Billings <billings at negate.org>
