Hi all, This is the third fresh install of CentOS 7 1708 the last two months that won't boot after a regular "yum update" just after the fresh install has finished. I've never had this problem before, it has just worked. The installs are on OEM's that have previously run CentOS 6.9 x64. Am I missing something here? -- BW, Sorin ----------------------------------------------------------- # Sorin Srbu, Sysadmin # Uppsala University # Dept of Medicinal Chemistry # Div of Org Pharm Chem # Box 574 # SE-75123 Uppsala # Sweden # # Phone: +46 (0)18-4714482 # Visit: BMC, Husargatan 3, B5:404b # Web: http://www.orgfarm.uu.se ----------------------------------------------------------- # O< ASCII ribbon campaign - Against html E-mail # http://tinyurl.com/ascii-ribbon-campaign # # This message was not sent from an iProduct! # # Please consider the environment before printing this email. # Join the campaign at http://thinkBeforePrinting.org # # MotD follows: Do not disturb -- I'm disturbed enough already.

What disk controller? `lspci` Legacy BIOS or UEFI? What disk layout? `lsblk` What storage driver? `lsmod` BTW, anyone have a good method for finding driver for a given disk(/dev/sdX)?

Does it stop: 1. Before the GRUB2 screen? 2. Between the GRUB2 screen and root device mount? 3. After root device mount but before entering runlevel 5? 4. Something else? Maybe post a screenshot to imgur.> Am I missing something here?You?re a computer person. This means people come to you with problems they want you to solve. I know this because it is a law of the universe; Q.E.D. Is ?won?t boot? the sort of report you?d like to receive from those depending on you for support? Give us the sort of problem report you?d most dearly love to receive from your users.

A few times the screen just went black after the grub menu, a few times it stuck waiting on Plymouth to quit. As for a screenshoot, I'll see if I can find another unused box to try reproducing this on. Don't want to mess up this particular machine. -- //Sorin
