I think you missed the point that this is just as painful for Joe Fedora
Developer and CS Major as it is Aunt Tillie.
"just as painful?" Do you mean the error or that "Joe Fedora Developer"
does not know enough to press a key and select the other kernel to boot? I
have often wondered why Fedora chooses to hide the other kernel. Maybe
"Aunt Tillie", with a little help, could see that 'kernel A' does not
work. Hmm... so maybe I should try 'kernel B'.
The first thing I do after installing Fedora is remove the "hiddenmenu"
line in /etc/grub.conf... why _is_ that the default, anyway??
Good question. I think its a terrible idea to hide the menu, and I've posted to
at least 5 forum questions where the user simply didn't realize pushing a button
at the hidden menu would let them see their windows install... "omg Fedora
install does not let me boot windows".
A pretty menu, but at what cost?
