System Stalls at Boot Up

[dtx1]

When I reboot my system it stalls (see pics at links).

I recently did a yum update, which completed normally.

When in the rescue kernel, I did notice that /boot was 100% full; I've been keeping 3 kernels.

So, I performed (I have yum-utils installed): 'cleanup-package --oldkernels --count=2', which dropped /boot to 63%, but I still cannot get through the boot sequence. I also noticed that the kernels that appear in the menu are not all available in /boot and I get an error if I pick some of them to boot from. I ran grub2-mkconfig -o/boot/grub2/grub.cfg but this did not resolve that issue.

It seems to get stuck -- but not in the same place each time.

I thought a recent install of Maldet was causing the issue -- but I have uninstalled it and it has not fixed the issue.

I disabled Docker:

sudo systemctl disable docker.service
sudo systemctl disable containerd.service

But still no good.

I'd appreciate some guidance.

thanks!

Did you try the older kernel?

How long did you wait for the boot to complete?

Whoever: I waited about an hour. I uninstalled maldet but that did not fix the problem.

TrevorH: Yes, I tried the other kernels -- same result. However, after running 'cleanup-package --oldkernels --count=2' once more the kernels that appear in the menu during boot time are not all available in /boot and I get an error if I pick some of them to boot from. I ran grub2-mkconfig -o/boot/grub2/grub.cfg but this did not resolve that issue.

My /boot got totally full --> 100%. And now the boot sequence hangs.

I checked the yum history and it had trouble completing some kernel updates because of the full space. And grubby had some problems creating grub.cfg.

I've reduced the space by:'cleanup-package --oldkernels --count=2', which dropped /boot to 63%, but I still cannot get through the boot sequence.

How to fix? I can get into rescue mode and get the ethernet up. Should yum update the kernel?
