If I remember correctly from the first thread, you would get a brief
flash on the screen with Fedora at the top of the screen, a short
pause, and then the proper splash screen with Fedora on the bottom.
This is a good indication that ether the video card or the monitor
are changing modes to properly display the splash screen. I would
suspect that it is the monitor changing modes to match the video output.
Yes. And that was where I was going to leave. There was a suggestion
on the list that I should file a bug against grub. I was about to do
that this morning and thought that I should check the first 512 bytes of
each disk just to be sure.
I checked and low and behold I found GRUB listed in the first block
(mbr ??) of both disks. So I thought I should chase that down before I
filed an inappropriate bug report.
While it will not prove this isn't the problem, it would be
interesting to see what happens if you log into the GUI, and then
hit Ctrl-Alt-F1 and see if you get the same kind behavior.
Ctrl-Alt-F1 gives me normal behaviour. No pauses or anything but
straight to:
Fedora 9 (Sulphur)
kernel-2.6-etc. (tty1)

Didn't the problem go away when you turned off the splash screen,
and ran Grub in the text mode?
Yes, it does. Which makes the problem a Fedora grub problem, not just a
grub problem -- I would think.
