From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030703 Description of problem: While the Red Hat graphical boot application (rhgb) appears on a clean install, it failed to install when upgrading from Shrike (9.0) to Severn (9.0.93). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install on an older Red Hat machine (especially 9/Shrike). 2. When asked if upgrading or installing, choose Upgrade. 3. Complete installation 4. When machine reboots, the graphical boot screen does not appear. Actual Results: I saw the boot-time text notifications scroll across my screen. Expected Results: I would have seen the graphical boot screen after a few of the text messages scroll across the screen. The next-to-last message would have been the "Welcome to Red Hat Linux" one. Additional info: The only mention of "rhgb" in the /root installation logs is in the upgrade.log file, and it appears to be simply in the context of a full package listing.
Upgrades don't pull in every new feature -- doing so would regularly pull in things that people may have removed from previous releases.
