Boot console output of hanging system

Here is a screen dump of the console output of the hanging system. 

The last thing that happens is dracut exits, presumably to kernel, and nothing else appears to happen.

Attached is the screen dump, where you can see various Gtk errors. 

The vnc screen hung when I tried to do some custom partioning.
