This has only happened this one time, and as I recall the only package updated was the kernel Here is the result of running "cat /proc/cmdline" on the currently running system: i7:~ # cat /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-4.4.72-18.12-default root=UUID=7546504e-79ac-4dc8-a384-7c62a4a82f8c resume=/dev/sda1 nosplash quiet showopts i7:~ # The argument: resume=/dev/sda1 sticks out like a sore thumb to me. (It would have been wrong trying to reboot after yesterday's update of the kernel.) I am also including a copy of /boot/grub2/grub.cfg Thanks for your time.
