Description of problem: I have updated this system to 4.13.0-0.rc0.git6.1.fc27.x86_64 but that fails to boot and seems to leave me in the grub shell. Is that right? Limited commands available? I'd like to post a system.journal file but I can't seem to figure out how to mount a USB drive. The jounal shows, I think, a problem with /sysroot/sysroot/mount.usr. Something in the system thinks is wrong with my /usr partition maybe? I have tried and succeeded running dracut and replacing the initramfs without any luck. The filesystem did have a minor problem but that was fixed. Rerunning dracut and reboot still didn't solve the problem. The system will boot from an earlier kernel so maybe this bug report isn't "urgent". The rest of the system is up to date with respect to the Fedora 27 x86_64 (rawhide) repo. uname -a Linux fc27 4.13.0-0.rc0.git5.1.fc27.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jul 11 15:31:13 UTC 2017 x86_64 GNU/Linux Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): see above How reproducible: all to readily Steps to Reproduce: 1.see above 2. 3. Actual results: grub shell(?) Expected results: "normal" boot Additional info:
Created attachment 1301185 [details] Console from VirtualBox VM that shows the problem I had a VM that mirrored the "real" system that has the problem. I updated the VM with "dnf -y upgrade" and then tried a reboot. Alas, same problem on the newer kernel. Perhaps this console log can help the debugging process?

Can you follow the instructions at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/How_to_debug_Dracut_problems?rd=Dracut/Debugging#Identifying_your_problem_area to get more debugging output? The serial console output is truncated slightly so it's hard to see what actually failed.

Hi, Is anything happening with this bug? Thanks, George...

should be fixed with systemd-234-5
