OK then some questions: 1. Did you definitely regenerate the initrd and include the convertfs module? 2. Did you definitely add the correct kernel command line options to mount / rw and trigger conversion process? If both the above are true, then, as per the instructions, try passing rd.break=pre-pivot to the command line and remove the "splash" option. When booting. You will be dropped to a debug shell *before* conversion. Just type "exit" and it should do the conversion and dump you to another shell. If things are failing you should see that there and it should roll back. A typical problem would be mounting /usr readonly if it's on a separate partition but the instructions are clear on that one too. Hope this helps.
