Does it boot if you add nopti to the kernel command line?
(In reply to Laura Abbott from comment #1) > Does it boot if you add nopti to the kernel command line? I put nopti at the very end of the linux boot command, and hit Ctl-X to complete the boot. The boot still hangs at the same place.

Yay a boot problem that isn't caused by the PTI patches. Do you see anything on the screen if you remove quiet from the kernel command line? Can you also share lspci, specifically I want to know the graphics card information.
You clearly sees the glass as half full. Removed quiet from the boot line. Still hangs at the flashing screen, whose last message is for having successfully started the window manager. ============== lspci ============================================= 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 4th Gen Core Processor DRAM Controller (rev 06) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200 v3/4th Gen Core Processor PCI Express x16 Controller (rev 06) 00:14.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 9 Series Chipset Family USB xHCI Controller 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 9 Series Chipset Family ME Interface #1 00:1a.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 9 Series Chipset Family USB EHCI Controller #2 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 9 Series Chipset Family HD Audio Controller 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 9 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 1 (rev d0) 00:1c.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 9 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 3 (rev d0) 00:1d.0 USB controller: Intel Corporation 9 Series Chipset Family USB EHCI Controller #1 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation 9 Series Chipset Family H97 Controller 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 9 Series Chipset Family SATA Controller [AHCI Mode] 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 9 Series Chipset Family SMBus Controller 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation GM107 [GeForce GTX 750 Ti] (rev a2) 01:00.1 Audio device: NVIDIA Corporation Device 0fbc (rev a1) 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.

Did clean install of F27 + update, and things are good. 4.14.16-300.fc27.x86_64 Using nouveau driver.
