<p>Maybe could help to boot into runlevel 3, and turn on debug on in systemd. Or try to boot into single user. </p>

As I may have mentioned before, my laptop runs F16 but will only boot properly from my last F14 kernel. All attempts to boot from a 3.X kernel fail before gdm starts. Are there any logs that survive after I reboot into the old 2.X kernel so that I can see just what's happening? I presume that some of the data will be in /var/log/messages, but is there anything else? Is there a way to be sure that a copy of boot.log is kept, or if it already is, where is it? So far, just reporting on the error messages I see on the screen hasn't led to any suggestions how to correct whatever's wrong, so I'm hoping there's a way to get more data.<br>
