What happens?

What does F14 resuce give you?

The yum upgrade from the minimal Fedora 14 KDE ran smoothly, (no
conflicts or removals). Unfortunately on rebooting I cannot boot at all,
(inittab 3 or 5), and when I just tried the Fedora 14 rescue DVD, that
failed as well!! Currently I can only suspect that the SELinux
permissions update are not being completed properly on reboot. So
perhaps a Fedora 15 DVD install and update will work.

As I've said elsewhere I will be avoiding Fedora 15 until I can find a
reliable method of installing/upgrading that works. Hence my laptop, (in
use now), will continue to run Fedora 14. Also I have successfully
upgraded via yum Fedora 10 -> 11 -> 12 -> 13 -> 14, (and never had this
big a problem).

Based on my experience, even with a minimal Fedora 14 installation, I
cannot recommend trying to upgrade Fedora 14 -> 15 via yum.

what size boot partition do you have on the laptop?

The same 200Mb,(1Tb drive on desktop, 500Gb on laptop ), as I had for
Fedora 14, which worked fine. Please note my current theory is that
SELinux permissions are changed, and the reboot to the Fedora 15 kernel
does not properly update them.

Please see my other posts, I have to congratulate the Fedora team for 8+
years of mostly relatively problem free Linux!

Your continued repeating of your anti-F15 "recommendations" and the lack
of actual technical information and/or screenshots other than it did not
work makes you look like a troll. A quick google for your email address
shows you had similar "recommendations" when your upgrade to Fedora 12
failed. Seems you are the only person in the universe that just can not
make those upgrades work again and again and then recommends that others
not upgrade because your upgrade failed for unknown reasons.

How about you stop with your imo baseless "recommendations" and start
providing detailed technical information and screenshots to those who
asked for them so they can help you find the issue and possibly fix it?

Or are you just a troll spreading FUD?

How to collect technical information when Fedora 15 fails to boot? I
have since tried again with a similar result, (see other posts). If the
positions are ever reversed I will be sympathetic to Patrick and not a
FUD spreading Troll.

To check whether your theory of SELinux problems could be true, try
booting with the enforcing=0 kernel arg.

Descriptions such as "cannot boot at all" are useless, because certainly
you could mention a few details about what parts of the boot process
work, what is displayed on screen (possibly by leaving the graphical
booter with ESC), and where it stops unexpectedly.

I'm probably being a bit slow, but what exactly do you mean
by "yum upgrade"?
What commands do you give?
I find it quite difficult to work out exactly what you are doing.

Actually, that would be selinux=0, instead of enforcing=0
