Description of problem: in the 3.9 series, the only kernel that works for me is a scratch build done from #964335 - 3.9.4-300.4.fc19.x86_64 the latest update (kernel-3.9.5-201.fc18.x86_64) doesn't crash but automatically shutdowns just as it is starting up. Not sure whether this is a systemd issue or kernel. If you need more info, let me know. For the record, rpm -q systemd kernel systemd-201-2.fc18.7.x86_64 kernel-3.8.7-201.fc18.x86_64 kernel-3.8.8-202.fc18.x86_64 kernel-3.8.9-200.fc18.x86_64 kernel-3.8.11-200.fc18.x86_64 kernel-3.9.2-200.fc18.x86_64 kernel-3.9.3-201.fc18.x86_64 kernel-3.9.4-200.fc18.x86_64 kernel-3.9.4-300.4.fc19.x86_64 kernel-3.9.4-301.fc19.x86_64 kernel-3.9.5-201.fc18.x86_64
Please attach the logs from the boot/shutdown sequence.
Created attachment 764021 [details] Screen grab Nothing appears to be written in the log files, so I have attached a screenshot. If you want the full (video) of the start up sequence, let me know. Still happens with kernel-3.9.6-200.fc18.x86_64 on my HP Pavilion g6 (64 bit, EFI enabled with an encrypted root file system). If there is any other information you need, or a koji build to try, let me know. -- simon
I don't see anything in here that would indicate a kernel error. If it boots to a point and then starts shutting down after that, we'd need to figure out why. A video might help I guess. You might also want to check the file sizes of the initramfs files in /boot. Make sure they are of similar size.

Let me know if you need a higher quality video. > You might also want to check the file sizes of the initramfs files in /boot. > Make sure they are of similar size.
