Upgrading for the first time to Fedora 10, I was disappointed to see that my runlevel settings did not seem to carry over through the upgrade, and had to hit Esc in order to see the kernel messages.
Fedora 10+ distributions have replaced the anaconda bootloader with plymouth, which is not affected by /etc/inittab, although setting the runlevel will still determine the appearance of the login prompt. In order to disable this bar, you must instead edit /etc/grub.conf or /boot/grub/grub.conf, the former being a symbolic link to the latter.
Remove rhgb quiet from the boot parameters:title Fedora (2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686)
root (hd0,9)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686.img
Fedora 10+ also comes with a pretty animated boot sequence instead of the progress bar. To enable it, you must add vga= with the appropriate framebuffer resolution to the boot parameters. To find the framebuffer resolution, use the following table:
Colours 640x480 800x600 1024x768 1280x1024 1600x1200
--------+---------------------------------------------
256 | 769 771 773 775 796
32,768 | 784 787 790 793 797
65,536 | 785 788 791 794 798
16.8M | 786 789 792 795 799 xrandr command can show your current screen resolution if you don't know it or it isn't listed, I have had trouble getting plymouth to accept non-standard resolutions, such as those on widescreen laptops. However, the resolution you set will affect only the boot screen and not the GDM/X11 display, so it is purely aesthetic entertainment while you wait for it to boot.title Fedora (2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686)
