Hi :
I run Fedora Core2 Test3 on a PC " Intel PIV 1.GHz , 512 MB RAM , IDE HDD 10GB , nVidia Riva TNT2 VGA , 3Com 3C905 Network Card " . 1- Yesterday I ran "up2date" to fully update my system . now the kernel was upgraded from 2.6.5-1.327 to 2.6.5-1.349 . the update modified the grub.conf file and put the default = 1 . now when I reboot the PC the grub initial screen comes with the old kernel highlighted and boot it after 10 seconds . when I manually changed the default = 2 it boots with the new kernel but the screen shows very little details " only that the kernel image decompressed then it will pause for 10 seconds or more then the GUI screen comes . I never noticed such thing with previous versions of Linux Kernel 2.4.xx ---> 2.6.5-1.327 .
The boot messages are very vital and shows a lot of useful info about hardware which are suppressed in the latest kernel .
How to make the kernel to display the messages as usual ??
2- in the GUI initial login screen the default session type is Gnome , how to make it to KDE 3.2.2
Thanks

Essam,
Edit your grub.conf file and remove the parameter ‘quiet’ from the kernel boot options. You can leave this option and dmesg will still give you all the kernel message which you can also view using system-logviewer

Assuming things haven't changed since FC1, you need to edit /etc/sysconfig/desktop:
DESKTOP="KDE" DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE"
You probably need to add the second line.

Along with the suggestion of removing the kernel parameter 'quiet' you may have 'rhgb' appended to the parameters.. which will display the graphical boot program prior to displaying the login (gdm) screen.
