Edit /etc/grub.conf and delete the "rhgb" from the kernel lines.  You
can leave the "quiet" option if you aren't debugging anything.  I
believe that subsequent kernel RPM installs will inherit the options
from the existing ones.

It's an interesting question that I don't have an answer to, why the
rhgb invocation of X fails where the post-boot one succeeds.  What is
your video card?
