Description Jay Berkenbilt 2003-07-26 21:32:17 UTC
Description of problem:

If you have GRAHPICAL boot enabled and boot into runlevel 5 with "confirm" on
the commandline, the boot hangs once the graphical boot starts.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

9.0.93, initscripts 7.28-1

How reproducible:

always, I assume...

Steps to Reproduce:
1. with GRAHPICAL=yes in /etc/sysconfig/init, boot into runlevel 5 appending
"confirm" to kernel comandline

Actual results:

Graphical boot starts and then fails to make progress.

Expected results:

I would expect "confirm" to automatically apply "nogui".  It seems to me that
this would be an easy fix.  I think this is better than disregarding confirm
since a commandline argument should always take precedence over a configuration
file, and I think it's silly to have to type both confirm and nogui.

Additional info:

I had already added DontZap to my XF86Config file, so I don't know whether
CTRL-ALT-Backspace would have shut down the X server that was showing the
graphical bootup status since I know it wouldn't work for my configuration.

Will be fixed in initscripts-7.41-1, in combination with rhgb-0.11 or later.
