Hi,

Is there actually something wrong with rhgb and gdm? When rhgb is passed to
the kernel, the graphical boot progress normally but I'm getting a blue
display and a black arrow as the mouse cursor where the the gdm login screen
is usually displayed. The system seems to be frozen as I can't switch to a
text console or kill the X server with Ctrl-Alt-Backspace. However, I can
remotely access it and restart gdm by invoking /usr/sbin/gdm-restart. The
gdm login screen is then displayed normally and I can log in a GNOME session
without a problem. By contrast, when rhgb isn't started, the gdm login
screen is displayed normally and works fine. I can't find a similar bug
report for the gdm component. This is on an Itanium workstation (IA-64
architecture). Are you experiencing the same issue on an other system?

Cheers,

     Emeric
