Screen goes dark when booting latest kernel
Hi,
I have a fedora27 system on an older x86_64 machine and when booting
the latest kernel (I believe it was just released today) as well as
the previous two, the display goes dark and becomes unresponsive.
I've booted into the rescue kernel (an older 3.14 from fc21) to get it
back online.
$ uname -a
Linux localhost 3.17.4-301.fc21.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Nov 27 19:09:10 UTC
2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
All other current kernels failed.
How do I troubleshoot this?
Based on the output from journalctl, it appears to be something
related with gnome and/or packagekit and/or the display driver. Here's
a few select error messages that look like they could be the cause.
I've also uploaded the journalctl boot entry that I believe is
associated with this boot to pastebin:
