Re: GUI boot (was: f17 and ATI RAGE128)

Graphical bootloader is not my favorite idea.
Even though I strongly prefer seeing legible white on black framebuffer text
kernel and init messages throughout the boot process, Gfxboot has always been
one of my favorite SuSE things, with cmdline sitting right there ready to
edit on every boot. Did the Grub devs really do something to v2 to make GUI
boot a problem Fedora can't handle?
It seems like the Grub devs wanted war with anyone who wished to not need to
learn its more complicated new and v1-incompatible system, and purposely made
Grub 2 impossible to chainload to from any other bootloader. Since my first
Grub 2 experience in Fedora, I stopped letting Anaconda install any
bootloader. My systems are mostly multiboot without LVM, RAID or LUKS, so I
either use a custom stanza in another installation to boot Fedora, or install
Grub Legacy into Fedora's /boot manually via a Knoppix boot when that's not
possible.
