Try adding the option "nosplash" (or replace "splash" with "nosplash") to the kernel line in your bootloader. Fedora 7 probably uses GRUB bootloader, so
Code:
su
gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
then locate the kernel you're booting (line starts with 'kernel') and if there's the word "splash" in the line (closer to the end of the line than beginning, usually should be easy to find), replace it with "nosplash", or if it's not there at all, just add "nosplash". Should work, if I'm not mistaken.

EDIT: then just save, close the file, reboot and see if it helped. With GRUB it's this easy; with LILO you need to re-run 'lilo' to write changes to MBR/partition.

I know that with fc5 you can remove "rhgb" from the boot command of the kernel you are loading. You have to edit your grub.conf and select the appropriate line.

Just on the chance you mean you want to have the installed system come up in a text mode and not a graphic mode, you need to change the /etc/inittab file. The initdefault runlevel is 5 and you want 3. An example of the beginning of the file...

# Default runlevel. The runlevels used by RHS are:
# 0 - halt (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
# 1 - Single user mode
# 2 - Multiuser, without NFS (The same as 3, if you do not have networking)
# 3 - Full multiuser mode
# 4 - unused
# 5 - X11
# 6 - reboot (Do NOT set initdefault to this)
#
id:3:initdefault:

Also check /etc/sysconfig/init for "GRAPHICAL=no" - should kill off rhgb cleanly - look for it in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit.

I disable the graphical boot in /etc/sysconfig/init. Why i add nosplash and the problem still cannot solved. However, the problem solved when i edited the /etc/sysconfig/init.
