You may consider disabling the splash screen in /boot/grub/grub.conf by finding your kernel entry: title Fedora (2.6.33.6-147.fc13.i686.PAE) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.33.6-147.fc13.i686.PAE ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_circe-lv_root rd_LVM_LV=vg_circe/lv_root rd_LVM_LV=vg_circe/lv_swap rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYTABLE=us rhgb quiet initrd /initramfs-2.6.33.6-147.fc13.i686.PAE.img Edit this entry to remove the "rhgb quiet" argument. Then, if this happens again, and the system is rebooting, it will freeze in a state where you can (hopefully) see where it's frozen right there in the boot messages. > Under what circumstances would that splash screen occur, when the > system had already booted and I had logged in?

I can't think of any circumstance where it would appear on an already booted system that is actively being used so unfortunately, I can't answer this one. -- Chris -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
