the rescue, which DOES work, says:

	linux16 /vmlinuz-0-rescue-39e9e51995d040a88bf6f0ae625ead80 
root=UUID=7246327b-1905-4fe2-9b6b-b9376017264f ro rootflags=subvol=root00 
rhgb quiet


the default, which does NOT work, says:
	linux16 /vmlinuz-4.0.4-301.fc22.x86_64 root=/dev/sdb8 ro 
rootflags=subvol=root00 rhgb quiet LANG=en_US.UTF-8


I did see an error about not finding /dev/sdb8 - I think that's the problem.

/etc/fstab says:
