systemd debug is rather verbose. First remove 'rhgb quiet' from the linux line, 
found in the grub menu. Highlight the entry you want to boot, hit e to edit, 
and then scroll down to find the linux line. This won't pause. If you're having 
a problem seeing the error message, and  it happens early enough that /sysroot 
hasn't yet mounted rw, then you can add rd.break to boot parameters and that 
will drop you to a dracut shell where you can look at the journal for failures, 
something like:

journalctl -xb | grep -i fail

Or just journalctl -b and scroll through until you find the problem. The 
journal is started right away, but isn't persistent until /sysroot is mounted 
rw, so this is a way to get access to early messages and troubleshooting if you 
can't ssh in or read the journal once you get a login prompt.
