I have the same problem with the 64 bit version.
The kernel is my prime suspect
Using dnf I upgraded the system to F-27. Only the rescue
option “vmlinuz-0-rescue-d227a01724864faa96106c8194003a31”(kernel 4.8.6-300.fc25.x86_64
x86_64) boots.
vmlinuz-4.12.13-300.fc26.x86_64
vmlinuz-4.13.11-200.fc26.x86_64
vmlinuz-4.13.11-300.fc27.x86_64
have the same failure mode:
Last log entry “Started User Manager for User ID 42”
Cursor is displayed at the center of the screen
Screen background turns gray and the computer freezes.
