However you can change things so that you see console output during the boot. Remove 'quiet' and 'rhgb' from the kernel entries in /boot/grub/grub.conf . > Something also changed between F9 and F10 with upstart.

Are you sure? Did you try other consoles besides vt1? Between F9 and F10 the X console moved to vt1 from vt7. If X isn't running but you are in run level 5, I don't think vt1 will be usable. > What is the best way to avoid using prefdm? I do not mind typing startx. Maybe you want to boot in run level 3? If so you can add '3' to the kernel paramters while you are editing grub.conf. It isn't clear what you are really trying to do though, so it may be that switching to run level 3 is not the correct answer. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
