Ditto. Or at least from one machine. I have two machines running test3. One
works with graphical boot, the other does not. The one that does not is an
OLD HP Vectra VL. It has a P2 and 128MB RAM. The one that does work is a
little Compaq Presario with a Celeron and 320MB. Neither has any of the new
fancy graphics cards. The fact that they differ in this relatively minor way
is indeed odd.
You currently have to add "rhgb" without quotes to the end of the kernel
line in /etc/grub.conf to get the graphical boot to work. This was
mentioned on one of the lists a few days ago.
