please boot with "rd.debug" and if you get dropped to a shell: - mount any partition/usb stick - run: # journalctl -a --no-pager > /mnt/<usb stick>/log.txt and attach log.txt I tried to look at doing this, but another bug in systemd has been created preventing me from doing this. I might have a dump that shows you this bug, but it may be stopping too soon now. Also it is hard to get data off the system. The x86_64 system is really hosed as the root fs got trashed while I was trying to get past the latest bug. I do think the same issue is happening on my i686 system, but I want to be more careful trying to recover. If I manage to get the saved data off I'll add what I got.

Log file from failed boot
I was able to get the logfile, but I am not sure if things got far enough to show the problem in this bug, before systemd got messed up.
does it work with selinux in permissive mode (add "enforcing=0" to the kernel command line)? Well it doesn't seem to make a difference, but I think I hit bug 838230 and this may be hiding this bug. It looks like I need to clean up from installing dracut-020-51 first. Once I get that done, I'll see if things get better. I also see there is a new dracut today to try out. This appears to be fixed with dracut-020-57.git20120709.fc18. Just as a followup, the unable to find an encrypted root partition issue is fixed. There still seems to be some usb related issues early in the boot, but I am seeing different behaviors for different kernels, so I need to look into it some more and will file a bug later. (Though maybe not against dracut.) |
