Hi Kevin,
This may help. This is the various "linux16" from
various grub.cfg. I didn't keep one for FC21 XFce.
FC22 GNome line 84:
linux16 /vmlinuz-4.0.4-301.fc22.x86_64+debug
root=UUID=d9ad5224-8ae4-47a0-957c-251a80942f31 ro rhgb quiet
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
FC22 Xfce:
linux16 /vmlinuz-4.0.4-301.fc22.x86_64 root=/dev/sda2 ro rhgb quiet
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
