Hi guys,
I installed Fedora 11 first, then a fresh install of Vista.
Booting using EasyBCD and NeoGrub to launch Fedora 11
I am keeping on top of updates, and have updated my menu.lst with new Fedora kernels as they came along, and reconfigured Neogrub to use the same kernels
Followed the advice here my-guides.net - Fedora 11 Installation and Post Installation Guide
for the Fedora 11 Plymouth graphical loader.
I have done this previously with Fedora 10 and XP and had it working, Fedora installed last and grub managing the dual boot for XP.
Problem - I still get the fedora loading bar at the bottom of the screen, no Plymouth.
Machine is Acer aspire 5920g, core 2 duo, sata II HD, NVidia 8600gs, 4gb ram.
I have installed graphics drivers for NVidia, but I dont believe this makes a difference for the Plymouth loader anyway. The NVidia logo pops up after the Fedora loading bar has finished, and before I log in.
My screen resolution is 1280x800, but vbetest as suggested on my-guides is an unknown command in the terminal on fedora. (SU enabled and password protected, so I can get admin rights).
So tried without success to add vga=code with various resolutions given, so either I am not getting the correct code for my setup,
or neogrub doesn't support this function in the configured menu.lst?
