That should show you the stream of messages from systemd as the system boots, and the error should be near the end of that stream, so it should still be on screen when the crash happens. I think you hit space or escape during boot to get the boot menu, and then you can edit the line. I have a timeout, so I always see it. Does it drop to a dracut or grub prompt? If it does, it is also possible to view the temporary boot logs from there (I think they are under /tmp (/var/tmp?)). It's painful because the shell is very limited. Use ls /bin to see the available commands. I think less is there, as is vi. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org
