No success. I cannot find out how to make Fedora 18 go into "Interactive Boot" that used to happen when you pressed the "i" on boot. I just crashed my system trying to do that. Any pointers on getting an interactive boot screen? The screen boots to fast to see the changes. I tried to video the boot sequence and I do know that the screen changes before the boot sequence displays "Fedora 18 (Spherical Cow)". The problem happens before I did find one conflict with xorg-vesa-drv and nouveau but I removed xorg-vesa-drv and the problem is still there. I am almost at a point of doing a re-install but with F19 is just around the corner and hopefully a clean install that will fix the problem. Not worth the time to work in this anymore.
