On fedora 23, kernel 4.4.9-300.fc.x86_64 my system hangs on boot when displaying the message "Starting switch root". After a few seconds a GUI occurs with the message: "Oh no! Something has gone wrong. A problem has occurred and the system can't recover. Please log out and try again". Then I can click on "Log out", but the same problem occurs again.
Some additional information: - I can switch to console via Ctrl+Alt-F2 and login - I tried to load an older kernel: 4.2.3-300 but I get exactly the same problem - It's a laptop with an intel and an nvidia card. I have the proprietary intel driver installed
I tried to remove the intel driver via dnf remove xorg-x11-drv-intel-* however after reboot the screen flickers when switching to console
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug.
