Thanks for replying Tony. The waterfall happens directly and almost immediately after the GRUB boot command. Within a minute or two, it freezes to a static multi-colored screen of gibberish. I have seen reference to 'quiet' and rhgb' but where would those go/where would I remove them? They are not on the command line args in GRUB as viewed by typing 'e'. -----Original Message----- From: Tony Dietrich [mailto:td@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, January 18, 2005 8:49 AM To: For users of Fedora Core releases Subject: Re: Trouble booting fresh Core 3 install On Tuesday 18 Jan 2005 14:42, David Nelson wrote: > Hello all, I may be able to get this from archives but haven't found them > yet so here goes. > > I have recently installed Fedora Core 3 on my Micron Millennia GS machine. > The disc check and install went without a hiccup. > > However, when I reboot, I get something akin to a waterfall of colorful > pixels with a random blink.

How far into the boot process do you get? Have you tried removing the 'quiet' and rhgb' options from the boot options? -- Tony Dietrich ------------- So... did you ever wonder, do garbagemen take showers before they go to work? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list ----------------------------------------- The information in this communication, including any attachments, is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed and may contain confidential, proprietary, and/or privileged material.
