1. For several weeks, I've been seeing text fly by early during the boot 
process, before the blue and white line grows left to right at the bottom of 
the screen.  But the text scrolls by too fast and disappears too fast for me to 
catch more than an isolated word or two.  I also had no idea how to access 
appropriate logs.  Then came the boot failure.  I did what the dracut shell 
said, and I recognized that the first set of lines that I posted in one of the 
boot failure postings quite possibly was the text I had been seeing during 
boots for the past several weeks.
2. Since the boot problem was fixed, I continue to see what I believe is the 
same text, the same way as before the boot failure problem.  As you advised, I 
did the journalctl command.  I routed the output to a text file, and then did a 
"cat -n" to another file so we would have line numbers.  Here's the result, 
with line numbers and an extra couple lines at the beginning and end for 
context:

So yes, the problem is still there.  (And now I know a way of getting to boot 
logs!)

Thank-you for you help so far.
Bill.
