If you boot into runlevel 3, does it auto-reboot? The error picture isn't an error, it's just telling you it's relabling the filesystem. You can temporarily avoid that by adding 'enforcing=0' to the grub command line. If you do, you might want to remove rhgb and quiet and see if there is any more information available. The gdm-welcome error is a problem in GDM, not the kernel. So far, there's nothing here to really point to a kernel problem aside from the rebooting. Does /var/log/messages show anything else?
hi, Josh the issue was fixed, it's a mistake, after several checking, I found it's my personal wrong configure which caused the issue, after I corrected the configure, the issue was gone, so I'll closed the bug. thanks for your tracking. Thanks, Zhouping
