From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041111 Firefox/1.0 Description of problem: Sometimes, rhgb flashes the detailed view briefly a few seconds after starting. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rhgb-0.16.1-1.FC3 How reproducible: Sometimes Steps to Reproduce: 1.N/A Additional info: This always happens before the "Searching for hardware" phase.
Something is blocking the boot process so rhgb automatically switches to detailed mode. As soon as process restarts then rhgb switches back to the normal progress bar display. The timing may raise this specific issue on your hardware, I don't get this on any of my boxes (unless some fsck happens, and in that time it shows what happen in detailed view). This is normak, not a bug, something is blocking the boot process and rhgb tries to display informations about it. I don't think I will do any specific action because it's processing as expected, except somthing is slowing down the boot on your machine. Daniel
