Description Jones Lee 2004-04-04 23:56:20 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET 
CLR 1.1.4322)

Description of problem:
In SuSE Linux, while booting, there is a GUI layout (very nice). I 
think it'd better if FC has one like SuSE. In FC, initial process 
loading are still in normal black and white mode, then the GUI boot 
up, can't be it all GUI?

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


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Boot the machine
2. 
3.

Have you tried "rhgb"? I think all you need to do is install the rhgb 
package and set a kernel parameter "rhgb" in your bootloader (i.e. 
/etc/grub.conf).

(Disclaimer: It should be easy as that, but I haven't tried myself.)

HTH,
Moritz
Comment 2 Jones Lee 2004-04-14 14:21:58 UTC 
yes, I did use rhgb but some still are monochrome mode.
Comment 3 Jonathan Blandford 2004-04-16 18:16:18 UTC 
We boot with quiet, and start rhgb really early on.  Starting a
graphical mode much earlier than that is basically infeasable.  I'm
not really sure that there's much we want to do here.
