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.
