I see the message in the fedora-test archive.  But I don't see where in
grub.conf one would specify the "rhgb" option.  Would someone care to provide
a little detail?

Thanks!

As another kernel parameter

It must be passed as a `kernel parameter'.  Locate the appropriate
(possibly indented) line beginning with "kernel", and add " rhgb" (a
blank and four characters) to its end.

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)

Cheers,
Michael

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.

Michael
