Scrolling text during boot process instead of 'loading bar'


This doesnt really bother me at all, Im more curious than anything but-

When I first installed fedora 9, during startup there was a bootsplash during the boot process. When the kernal was updated, the bootsplash was replaced with scrolling text (I have done several kernal updates, it was after the first one the scrolling text happened).

Is there a way of reverting back to the bootsplash or is it more trouble than what its worth?

Sounds like you lost some arguments on the boot options - have a look in menu.lst. On the kernel line you normally chose, make sure it has "rhgb quiet" on the end.

Sounds like the F10 bootsplash - a solid bar on the bottom that turns white ?.
