That's what you get on machines that don't support modesetting and don't have a framebuffer console set up. You can remove 'rhgb' from the command-line to get the standard scrolly-text startup (note that this may change slightly in the near future.) If you want the shiny graphical startup, typically all you need to do is add something like: vga=0x318 to the boot commandline and you'll get the graphical version (at 1024x768) instead. Try 'vga=ask' to get a menu that will let you pick a mode; once you find one that works for your system you can use that. With either method, you can hit Escape to see the verbose startup messages. They're also logged to /var/log/boot.log. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/BetterStartup for more info. -w
