How to Get Boot GUI on RH9->Fedora Upgrade

A lot of posters have asked how to disable the boot GUI. I'm interested 
in seeing the GUI, and I don't see it on the machines that I've upgraded 
from RH9.

I've read the Release Notes, and tried to add "rhgb" to the end of the 
kernel line in /etc/grub.conf, and have confirmed that GRAPHICAL=Yes in 
/etc/sysconfig/init.

When I added rhgb to the end of the kernel line in /etc/grub.conf, the 
screen would go totally blank immediately when the boot sequence would 
be displaying.

How do I get the boot GUI to display on this RH9->Fedora upgrade? I'm 
including a copy of both /etc/grub.conf and /etc/sysconfig/init below.

Thanks very much!

(from /etc/sysconfig/init)

# Turn on graphical boot
GRAPHICAL=yes

(from /boot/grub/grub.conf)
(also in /etc/grub.conf)
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that

#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/hda2
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/hda
