Can you provide a verbose "dmesg -a" from the system while it is running 7.2? It would be useful if you could also boot 8.0 with verbose messages, and mark on it where exactly you see the hang, as I don't know where the "attempting to mount volumes" message is coming from (I don't see it on my 8.0 machine, and I can't see it anywhere in the source). Thanks! Gavin
