Fedora 24 won’t boot after dnf upgrade

bootdnffedora

Last night I did an upgrade on my fedora 24 alpha install and when booting first time today I just ended up with a black screen.

Then I tried booting into rescue mode, which left me with a shell after showing the fedora loading screen. I tried reverting the last update listed with dnf historylist undo id#, but that failed because it doesn't connect to the network.

In the shell, it shows this line before prompting for root pwd:

dracut-pre-udev[302]: Symbol 'svc_auth_none' has different size in shared object, consider relinking

Any ideas how I could revert the last update?

EDIT:

I have looked through the log provided by journalctl -xb and there seem to be a lot of systemd errors related to mounting all kinds of drives, so that is probably the reason why it won't boot. Funny thing is that my hardware setup has not changed one bit, drives are all working as supposed to.

I forgot to add that I tried booting into the two previous alpha kernel versions to no avail (though both used to work previous to yesterdays update).

EDIT2:

Ouput of journalctl -xb -p3:

Best Answer

This worked for me.

Add the following to your kernel parameter.

selinux=1 enforcing=0

This sets the SELinux enforcement mode from strict to permissive.

This is a temporary solution until I figure out what is going on, or until an update fixes the problem.
