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

Are these machines running X windows and a Desktop Environment. If I had to guess, this is an AMD graphics issue .. or possibly another brand of card. -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation C600/X79 series chipset 6-Port SATA AHCI Controller (rev 06) While I don?t have experience with this exact controller, I have seen some LSI controllers get removed from RHEL post GA which causes similar issues. ?It worked when I installed, but after `yum update` my box doesn?t boot.? These are typically detailed in release notes. . . We ALL read ALL release notes? Right?

No gray 7-boot screen. Might be a graphics issue, the card is a Nvidia 1060 with no particular drivers loaded except for the default Nouveau package. What's weird is that I can't even get a CLI login screen with ctrl-alt-Fx at this point. Will continue trouble-shooting and see if I can resolve this properly. //Sorin
