That is what is in the release notes and it didn't work for
me either. One of the first things that I always do with a
new system is to eliminate the "hidden" and rghb from
grub.conf. I really think that this should be the default.
Hiding the output on a new install is really
counter-intuitive - for me. I have never quite understood
this obsession with a windows-like boot process.

Sometimes I think that the worst enemy of Linux is trying
to make it too much like Windoze.
