Try adding something like vga=0x318 (I'm afraid I've never properly understood this parameter - perhaps someone else can explain how to choose the video mode number). Unfortunately the few remaining kernel messages and the udev line will still show. rhgb uses X, and can't be started before udev. I guess you can remove these messages using console=/dev/null, but then you'll get no console messages during shutdown, for debugging, etc., either. As for a completely graphical boot, you want Bootsplash/fbsplash instead of rhgb. I suggest you take a look at the following: http://www.bootsplash.org/ http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_fbsplash http://dev.gentoo.org/~spock/projects/gensplash/current/ https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=151952 Jonathan -- http://jonathan.rawle.org/
