The very first day before raising this bug, I had tried the "Rescue System" in boot menu of the 15.0 DVD without any boot option. It got stuck in the same place. I have not tried "Rescue System" with nomodeset option yesterday. Should I try that ? Also yesterday I did a full install with nomodeset option. But then the UI in the running desktop was very sluggish. Since the system has NVIDIA card, I installed the proprietary NVIDIA driver. Still the UI is sluggish. No change at all. Could it be because of using the nomodeset option ?
