Good afternoon,
I found the login attempts in the journalctl output, though it isn't easy. I'll open a new thread to address what this is really about.
Before the hard drive replacement, the grub menu showed the three most recent Fedora patches, then something like "Advanced options for Fedora", then a Windows (or DOS) option.

Add the entry GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=y to the /etc/default/grub file.
PS those are kernels, not patches; each line represents a different kernel that you can boot with.
After the grub menu disappears but before the three small whitish rectangles appear, some boot logging shows up in a very large font. Before doing the "grub2-mkconfig", that logging showed up in a much smaller font. The same is true of logging that shows up after the three small rectangles disappear, but before the login GUI shows up. How do I get the font for the boot logging to be a small font?
Try adding the entry GRUB_GFXPAYLOAD_LINUX=text to the /etc/default/grub file. You might have to play with this a little. To examine the possibilities look in the documentation for grub2 options about GFX using pinfo grub2
