I think... I'm not entirely sure of the ramifications of vga=791. I know Kam Leo said it means 1024x768x64K colors, I don't know if it does anything else. I'd remove the rhgb, it does cause some people problems, and it takes one more thing out of the equation. Taking the quiet option out, as well, will show more details about things while booting. At least, while trying to resolve problems. -- (This box runs FC6, my others run FC4 & FC5, in case that's important to the thread.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
