I finally let the boot sequence error out, took about 5 minutes. I got
this line:
Dracut-initqueue[283] Warning: Cancelling resume operation. device not
found.
then the next line showed the UUID, ending in c063. That was the OLD
swap partition. I rebuilt the swap partition, did the swapon, and added
that UUID to /etc/fstab. Still errored out with same error. I removed
the 3.18.3-201 kernel & headers & module, reinstalled them, and now it
works. where is that old swap info kept, if not in /etc/fstab?? I
grepped for c063 in /boot and found entries in System.map-3.18.3-201...
but I am not sure it was the actual swap partition.
running fedora 21 x86_64
I was redoing my drive partitions, reran grub2-install, and now I get
stuck, and the boot won't complete when I select any 3.17 or 3.18
kernel. I have the latest 3.18.3-201 installed. 3.16 kernel booted..
I see what looks like dracut errors. Not sure what to do, google wasn't
much help.
/var/log/messages shows:
Jan 29 03:00:05 pauls-server systemd: Started dracut pre-mount hook.

not very descriptive.. suggestions on where to look or what is wrong?
right now I am booted into fedora 20, using the same /home.. it's just
that not everything works..
