Take a look at your /boot/grub/grub.conf file and you will note a pair of new arguments being passed to the kernel "rhgb" and "quiet". The latter, "quiet", suppresses the driver/kernel initialization messages from being displayed on the console but can still be viewed after the boot in /var/log/dmesg or by running dmesg. The other, "rhgb" is why we get the little blue bar showing the progress of the boot, though you could click on "Details" in that window and get your "green OK"'s back.... Of course, you could also remove both of those arguments from the kernel and things will be as they were...... :-) --Rob
