Why does it turn out that both of these lines result in a text boot-up (no pretty boot display)? I tried vga=normal as well as vga=extended. It seems that for some reason the video needs to be set to a graphics mode or udev trashes it. Does this make sense? kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 vga=791 3 kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2798.fc6 root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 vga=791 rhgb quiet -- Edward DeMeulle <ed@xxxxxxxxxxxx>
