i realize that the graphical boot has been discussed on numerous occasions, but frankly, i've never seen one on my system (currently running FC3). how do i get one? (at the moment, i see the standard line-oriented boot i've seen for years).
i've verified that /etc/sysconfig/init contains
BOOTUP=color GRAPHICAL=yes
i've perused /etc/rc.sysinit and the conditions look like they'd be satisfied. /usr/bin/rhgb is there. the file /proc/cmdline does not contain the string "nogui". so what am i missing?
i figured it would be nice to see this graphical boot thingie at least once.

In grub.conf look for the line;
kernel /vmlinuz-2.4.22-1.2115.nptl ro root=LABEL=/ hdd=ide-scsi
all you have to do is add rhgb to the end of the line and the graphical boot should come up. You might have a different kernel installed but it should look the same.

When grub shows the list of systems to boot, select "edit" and add "rhgb" (no quotes) to the list of parameters being passed.
