sometimes boots f21, sometimes hangs

[Neal Becker]

New lenovo X1 carbon.  Sometimes boots, sometimes hangs.

Today tried to boot and repeatly hung, saying

waitjob for /sysroot

Sounds pretty scary.

After repeated attempts, now it is booted OK.

Tried on latest kernel and also previous 1 or 2.

Any ideas?

SV: sometimes boots f21, sometimes hangs

[Birger Monsen]

I see the same, also on a x1. Btrfs root and home on mine. Ran nicely since f21 forked from rawhide, but sees this more and more often. I think it started with 3.18 kernels. Same on 3.19.1.

SV: sometimes boots f21, sometimes hangs

Tried any different boot options?

Just FYI on a new X1 carbon (3rd gen) with F21 at the moment, LVM/Ext4
and no issue at all. Maybe a Btrfs issue?

Mine is a 2nd gen.

[Ranjan Maitra]

Hi,

I suspect that I have had this problem (and am having this again), inconsistently with different laptops. Basically, if you boot without rhgb quiet, this is what happens (I posted this earlier, but no resolution was possible): this has happened to me on a Dell Latitude E6400 (in December, but not with the update to kernel 3.19.1 -- will see if the problem crops up with the update to kernel 3.19.2), a Dell XPS 13 (earlier in November with F20 and now again, with the update to kernel 3.19.1) and a Dell Dimension M3800 (earlier with F20 but a different kernel update than the XPS 13, and now again with the update to kernel 3.19.1).

I posted this on a thread (Thu, 18 Dec 2014 titled Fedora 21 update (not upgrade) fails with broken boot) but no resolution was found. I am not even sure what to BZ on, given that not all machines fail.

Btw, here is what happens (taken from my post of 18 Dec 2014), and note that I do not use rhgb and quiet (in the boot parameter) so I get text-based information.

I boot in through grub. Pretty soon, I get:

Generating "/run/initramfs/rsdsosreport.txt"
Welcome to emergency mode! After loggin in, type "journalctl -xb" to view system logs, "systemctl reboot" to reboot, "systemctl default" or ^D to try again to boot into defauly mode.
Give root password for maintenance.
(or press Control-D to continue):

I may say that Ctrl-D does get me the login screen, but why this message/hang and rigmarole?

Any suggestions/pointers would be appreciated. Happy to provide more information as possible.

Best wishes,
Ranjan

I find that I need to remove rhgb and quiet or it (probably) never boots.

I've never seen that, do you have to wait a long time?

I've taken to always booting with rhgb+quiet removed, and with mode 3.  Then
manually systemctl restart sddm after boot
