I repeat that I like initng. By trying it I have now a much clearer view on
the boot process of Fedora.

I will try but first I need to install 0.5.3. Or would svn be better?

The problem that it only happens occasionally so it seems like a timing issue.
Calling udevstart at the end of system/alsasound/loadmodules forces the devices
to be created but adds 2 seconds to the boottime (as it also checks all other
devices). Again I will need to install 0.5.3 before filing a proper bug report.

Not on my system! Perhaps you are running rawhide? I am running FC4 with the
latest updates but little else.

I also have no idea what could possibly cause this. Disabling gdm, consolefont,
and keymaps did not fix it....

The console turns black and then it comes back up.

I think we do (but it is of course not a show stopper). Many people do like the
cleanliness of a WinXP or Mac/OSX boot.  On a desktop system users should not
see *any* bootmessages (even rhgb is too noisy for my taste).
