Fedora 27 stopped booting
From time to time I experience trouble booting the newest kernel, most of the times I just boot an older kernel, and wait for newer NVIDIA prop. drivers.
However this time an older kernel stopped booting as well.
Right now I can't boot 4.17.x kernels, however I did boot 4.16.16 without a problem. Today, after a restart, I cannot boot into 4.16.16 neither.
When I try to boot to 4.16.16, everything goes ok up until the point where login screen should appear. Instead I see a black screen with a mouse cursor which is responsive, but my monitors position is messed up (I have two) - meaning mouse would jump from the right monitor to the left monitor by dragging it to the right.
When booted to Fedora rescue, I see the following:
That is, it talks how my home partition cannot be booted to media/Data.
The same message appears when I try to boot to 4.17.x kernel. Also in that case I get stuck on the following:
I tried using older NVIDIA driver, and I too got to the black screen on 4.17.x kernel.
The interesting part is, that if I set-default multi-user.target, everything boots up, I login, and my journalctl says that media/Data was mounted successfully.
Any suggestions?
Have you tried reinstalling newest nvidia driver and rebuilding initramfs (dracut)?
Additionally, see what errors are spit out related to system-modules-load once you enter multi-user.
I've done dracut, but could not reinstall nvidia driver any more, got an error saying 'Unable to load the 'nvidia-drm' kernel module.'.
system-modules-load show this: Failed to insert xen..
Some time before I've tried to run xen hypervisor, but would get an error module2.mod and multiboot2.mod not found, but did not proceed on troubleshooting and was just using regular kernel.
When in multi-user? Everything seems as it's supposed to I think.
fdisk
fstab
Well, when in multi-user, runlevel is 3.
But it seems I missed something important.
When trying to launch graphical.target, there's this error:
/boot/efi failed
It doesn't matter whether media/Data is commented out or not.
When I set multi-user, it says /boot/efi mounted just fine, however I find these errors:
NVIDIA taints kernel
This is the way I've always done it. Right now, however, I cannot reinstall Nvidia driver, since I get an error saying 'Unable to load the 'nvidia-drm' kernel module.'.
