(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
[ 317.929] (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib64/dri/i965_dri.so failed (/usr/lib64/dri/i965_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
[ 317.929] (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib64/dri/swrast_dri.so failed (/usr/lib64/dri/swrast_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)
7.It shows file i965_dri.so is missing
8.It was missing the physical file location
9.Check the yum history
[root@sterinlap ~]# history | grep yum | grep remove
62 yum remove dbus-glib-0.104-1.fc21.i686
63 yum remove dbus-glib
166 yum remove mesa-filesystem-10.4.7-1.20150323.fc21.x86_64
This shows that mesa drivers where removed
10.run yum install mesa*
11.Verified the files and fedora is able to boot
12. To disable graphics or Xserver permanently then check
/etc/inittab file . It contains specific details for fedora 21 .
For linux ,edit /etc/inittab
id:3:initdefault from id:5:initdefault
P.S : Some times we need to verify other files in
/var/log folder to debug boot up issues
P.S : In case , if we need to edit /etc/fstab use mount -o remount,rw /
