If using kickstart to install, and grub to boot, add something like this
to %postinst to avoid frustration in the future.
There are some long lines that might be wrapped around by my mail
reader, or your mail reader, so use a bit of common sense on what should
be single line ;-)
%postinst
#! /bin/sh
if [ -f /boot/grub/grub.conf ]
then
cp /boot/grub/grub.conf /boot/grub/grub.conf.dist
sed -r
's/^([[:space:]]*kernel[[:space:]].*)[[:space:]]rhgb([[:space:]]?)/\1\2/'
< grub.conf.dist > grub.conf
fi
if [ -f /etc/lilo.conf ]
then
cp /etc/lilo.conf /etc/lilo.conf.dist
sed -r -e
's/^([[:space:]]*append[[:space:]]*=[[:space:]]*"?.*)rhgb/\1/' -e
's/"[[:space:]]*/"/' -e 's/[[:space:]]*"/"/' < /etc/lilo.conf.dist >
/etc/lilo.conf
# does this file exist prior to posinst script? it should. should it?
if grep -q '^bootloader.*useLilo' /root/anaconda-ks.cfg
then
/sbin/lilo
fi
fi
if grep -q '^id:5:initdefault:' /etc/inittab
then
cp /etc/inittab /etc/inittab.dist
sed 's/^id:5:initdefault:/id:3:initdefault:/' < /etc/inittab.dist >
/etc/inittab
