<PRE>'Twas brillig, and Maurice Batey at 20/03/13 22:03 did gyre and gimble:
><i> On my netbook, the bread-and-butter install is Mageia-2, but I have also
</I>><i> been trying Mageia-3B2 to try to check out the Broadcom WiFi situation.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Until the last Cauldron update I made 2 weeks ago, all has gone well,
</I>><i> except the last time I used it was difficult to boot it, often needing 2-3
</I>><i> attempts.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> Today I checked again and it repeatedly failed to boot.
</I>><i> (Mageia-2 still boots reliably.)
</I>><i>
</I>><i> When the Mageia-3B2 boot starts, it gets as far as 3 bubbles over the
</I>><i> cauldron, then the screen goes blank, there is still a lot of disk activity
</I>><i> for a few seconds, then nothing - even after 5 minutes.
</I>><i> However , if I then tap the netbook's 'off' switch, momentarily I see a
</I>><i> cauldron with *5* bubbles flash onto the screen before the screen dies from
</I>><i> power-down.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> I could access the Mageia-3B2 install from Mageia-2 if anyone can suggest
</I>><i> what settings might be usefully checked and/or changed.
</I>><i>
</I>><i> In the meantime my Mageia-3B2 is dead in the water...

Have you tried switching to ctl+alt+f2 to see if you get a text login?
Failing that, edit your kernel command line, and remove the quiet and
splash options, and add systemd.log_level=debug
systemd.log_target=console+journal
Then see how far you get.
It's likely waiting for something to complete, or some job had to be
ejected due to initscript conflicts etc.
