<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>I run Fedora Core2 Test3 on a PC " Intel PIV 1.GHz
, 512 MB RAM , IDE HDD 10GB , nVidia Riva TNT2 VGA , 3Com 3C905 Network Card " .
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>1- Yesterday I ran "up2date" to fully update my
system . now the kernel was upgraded from 2.6.5-1.327 to 2.6.5-1.349 . the
update modified the grub.conf file and put the default = 1 . now when I reboot
the PC the grub initial screen comes with the old kernel highlighted and boot it
after 10 seconds . when I manually changed the default = 2 it boots with the new
kernel but the screen shows very little details " only that the kernel image
decompressed then it will pause for 10 seconds or more then the GUI screen comes
I never noticed such thing with previous versions of Linux Kernel 2.4.xx
---> 2.6.5-1.327 . </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>The boot messages are very vital and shows a lot
of useful info about hardware which are suppressed in the latest kernel
