It's splash=silent and still doesn't solve my problem. With that set I get a text mode LILO start, but then as soon as the init starts it goes to a light blue screen with a bar area in the middle that never actually fills in as it boots, the words Community 10.1 with a graphic line, that's it, it doesn't even say hit ESC for details like it used to, however ESC does work.

In previous versions I have had the graphic LILO start that then drops me to a true text mode boot, no graphics or blue screens.

In MCC I have Boot Theme turned off, no auto-login with or without graphical start, and when the boot finishes I do get dumped into a semi text mode - the blue screen is still there with the crappy logo, the text mode rides on top of it. How do I turn the damn thing off?

up and get dumped into a terminal logon session. In previous versions it
was terminal from the start.

'Any ideas?


Your lilo.conf file is specifying a graphics setting on boot. Remove that line and you should boot up in console mode only. If you post one of your entries, I can point out the exact problematic setting. I don't have those on my machine so I don't remember exactly what it is off-hand, something like vga=788 or splash=silent, something of that nature.
