F28 only has the normal kernel - it doesn't seem to recognize /dev/vg0/root correctly on a softraid mirrored volume for some strange reason. The F27 PAE kernel does. I'm going to try the F27 "normal" kernel and see if that works. If so, I'll update to get the F28 one and see if it makes a difference. It may also be something strange related to dracut and/or grubby on F28 with this machine - it is ancient (orignally Red Hat 5.2, I think) but has been working for at least 10 years. I may just try to reinstall with F28 or F27, too (I'm using xfce, I think that is possible still). The system has a 2.2G Pentium 4 - it isn't 64-bit but does doe PAE. I really ought to just get rid of it, which is probably the best thing to do but it has still been working and I've kept it for sentimental reasons, more than anything else.
