FYI: AFAICT, the issues should determinististically reproducable with 
f21/f22 in all Fedora/Win-Multiboot configurations by everybody.

I guess, many people are not seeing them due to them using fast SSDs 
instead of HDDs and  them having using a graphical plymouth.

Folks, check your boot logs - I guess many of you aren't aware, Fedora 
is performing a full disk-check upon each reboot in multiboot configuations.
