Many thanks for the suggestions & feedback AFAIK I have not changed anything and I cannot get the machine to fail again with the problem of DHCP running after the nfs mount attempts. Yesterday I could not get it to boot cleanly in about 10 attempts! Maybe it was a network problem, maybe a hardware problem? Maybe some form of race condition with NetworkManager-wait-online and friends I will bring a second F27 machine up to the same "update" state and see what happens _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org
