Sorry I don't have the ability to dump the logs. I can't get to a shell. I attached a screenshot for a better understanding.

Is booting stuck at this point? Can you get to a console by hitting Ctrl-Alt-F2?
Booting is stuck. I can not get a console by hitting ctrl-alt-f2.
OK. Based on the screenshot it appears to be stuck somewhere in the kernel initialization. Reassigning.
Even when I try and boot live it does that same thing.
(In reply to dannyking20022001 from comment #3) > Created attachment 948974 [details] > error There's no actual error shown in this attachment. Just normal boot up messages. Does this machine have a serial console?
yes it does
Could you edit the command line and add console=ttyS0,<baud rate> and capture the boot output at whatever baud you specify? Maybe we will see something further that way.
Ya I will give it a try and report back.

Created attachment 949059 [details] log file of serial boot
I have added the log file from the serial console. Also a picture that shows where the screen stops booting with the console command being added to boot.
Could you try one of the beta TC composes instead of the Alpha? That has a 3.17 based kernel on it and it would be better to debug off of what is going to be the base kernel in the final release anyway. Also, could you attach the output of dmesg after a boot that does work?
Could you link me to a beta TC release ? Also I will load a dmesg log when I can get the system up.
http://alt.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/21_Beta_TC4/ has the latest, though I suspect a TC5 will be coming in the next day or two.
System still will not boot. I have attached a new log of me using beta tc4
