So, the problems with that when we implemented it on grub1 were
numerous, but basically they're all of one variety:
1) we have to clear the buffer at some point because BIOSes often
leave junk in them
2) it's unclear to the user when the buffers are cleared
Could we do something here? flash a Fedora logo or something?
3) if the user holds down the key, the BIOS complains that the key
is
stuck,
4) if the user doesn't hold down the key, but just presses it, it's
easy to do so too early
Yep.
So I'd really rather have it so that /under normal
circumstances/, if
the user wants the non-default kernel or parameters, they tell us so
before rebooting.
well, thats fine if they realize it... but yeah, not a problem with
easy solutions I guess. ;(
