FC21's Xfce live did not have this problem, either on Live USB or direct install. Basically FC22 Xfce is only good for creating Live DVD's. Thats pretty weird to me.

The only difference is the package set. Booting and such should be the exact same on both. Never had a problem boot any of the above off HP's el-cheap-o computers, which puzzled me greatly. A lot of the issues are that FC22 Live sets up grub.cfg to device by its direct dev (/dev/sda) instead of by its UUID. Gnome does UUID. The sdx floats all over the place, depending on what computer you install it into. But switching to UUID only solved some issues. Right now, it is not a big issue for me.

If the problem is large with what seems to be multiple items then the report should probably start on the list and then with guidance on if the problem is repeatable by others those components in bugzilla. If the problem is not repeatable then it can be good to figure out why only certain systems are seeing it.
