Hi,
I recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 5721 which came with Windows 8. I
would like to dual boot this with Fedora but am having problems running
the Fedora Install. I have Fedora-19-x86_64-DVD.iso on usb, and whenever
I boot with UEFI (secure on or off), the
boot process hangs at the line, Reached target Basic System:
[ 12.650116] localhost systemd[1]: Started Dispatch Password Requests to Console
Directory Watch.
[ 12.650553] localhost systemd[1]: Starting Paths.
[ 12.650962] localhost systemd[1]: Reached target Paths.
[ 12.651376] localhost systemd[1]: Starting Basic System.
[ 12.651829] localhost systemd[1]: Reached target Basic System.
And then bails out after a few minutes and starts up the Dracut Emergency Shell:
[ 35.729286] localhost multipathd[108]: sdc: add path (uevent)
[ 35.915042] localhost multipathd[108]: sdc: update path write_protect to '0'
(uevent)
[ 36.008982] localhost multipathd[108]: sdc: update path write_protect to '1'
(uevent)

[ 197.574126] localhost dracut-initqueue[395]: Warning: /dev/root does not exist
[ 197.578383] localhost systemd[1]: Starting Dracut Emergency Shell...
I have pasted the full sosreport.txt at

Please note that if I install in basic graphics mode, I still get the
same result. The only way I can get the install to work, is if I boot in
legacy mode. Unfortunately after doing this, I can no longer boot up
Windows.
If anyone knows how to fix this, I'd be really grateful for some help :-)
Many thanks,
Ed
