Edit /etc/grub.conf to make plymouth less obscure.
1) Change "timeout" to 10: timeout=10
2) remove rhgb from the kernel line (it's right before "quiet".
Sample: kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.38.8-32.fc15.i686.PAE ro
root=/dev/mapper/vg_sdsdesk-lv_root rd_LVM_LV=vg_sdsdesk/lv_root
rd_LVM_LV=vg_sdsdesk/lv_swap rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYTABLE=us quiet
initrd /initramfs-2.6.38.8-32.fc15.i686.PAE.img
I think I did those things earlier:
#boot=/dev/sdb
default=0
timeout=15
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
# hiddenmenu
title Fedora (2.6.38.8-32.fc15.i686)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.38.8-32.fc15.i686 ro
root=/dev/mapper/vg_box6-lv_root rd_LVM_LV=vg_box6/lv_root
rd_LVM_LV=vg_box6/lv_swap rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYTABLE=us
systemd.unit=multi-user.target
initrd /initramfs-2.6.38.8-32.fc15.i686.img
And now I've removed NetworkManager too but the same symptoms remain.
The boot process stops at:
"Start Terminate Plymouth Boot Screen"
That process takes more than a minute and I still have to connect
manually and mount the NFS separately before I am back in operation.
I messed with this before and always seem to run into difficulty. It
is simpler to restore NetworkManager than fight it. I don't have any
portable equipment and it just seems I should be able to control the
connection without it.
I saw your message and thought I would give it another try.
Thanks.
