Description Eric Paris 2013-08-27 16:05:34 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1001744 +++

Remove 'rhgb quiet' from the kernel command line in the grub config and add 'debug'.  The system will mostly hang right after it says 'Welcome to $DISTRO'.

It isn't completely dead, as I still get one log line every minute or so.  But 10 minutes the system is clearly not booted and has made no visible progress.  I wonder if there is a sleep 60 type line in the debug code path somewhere?
