Hmm . From dmesg : Kernel command line: ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb In my grub.conf kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2110.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb
And I still boot in plain old text [ Ok ] thing. Any other tips? (Not that I care *that* much about it)
Just to double check, you do have rhgb still installed, yes? Also, are you sure there are no typos in your sysconfig GRAPHICAL=yes line?
rpm -q rhgb rhgb-0.11.1-2
From /etc/sysconfig/init:
# anything else => new style bootup without ANSI colors or positioning BOOTUP=color # Turn on graphical boot GRAPHICAL=yes
Still no graphical boot. Quite odd.
Ditto. Or at least from one machine. I have two machines running test3. One works with graphical boot, the other does not. The one that does not is an OLD HP Vectra VL. It has a P2 and 128MB RAM. The one that does work is a little Compaq Presario with a Celeron and 320MB. Neither has any of the new fancy graphics cards. The fact that they differ in this relatively minor way is indeed odd.
You currently have to add "rhgb" without quotes to the end of the kernel line in /etc/grub.conf to get the graphical boot to work. This was mentioned on one of the lists a few days ago.
