So, at our company, part of the installation/kickstart is to prompt the installer for the serial number of a system, and for some timezone information. With RHL, we've done this prompting in rc.local, which would wait indefinitely until the installer inputted the information. Once inputted, then the login screen, be it text or gui, would present itself. However, with FC1 I am not seeing this happen. First off, RHGB would sortof show for a quick second the prompt for information, but would then exit immediately and show the gui login screen. The status of the script is very unknown. So I thought I would script around rhgb, and disable it for the first boot, by putting a # before the "rhgb" in grub.conf. Well, when ever I do this, I get the text console output up until enabling firewire (OHCI). From that point on, there is no more output to the screen, but I can see the harddisk keep going. Eventually the login screen would present itself. This duplicates with run level 5, and 3. Again, I am unable to even SEE my script run, let alone get user input into it. What has changed so that rc.local is no longer a blocker, and can keep the system from continuing when input is needed? This seems _very_ broken to me, and I'd really like to find a way to fix this.
