RHEL 6 Detailed Boot

[martianman]

Hi,

I'm hoping someone out there knows the answer to this. I've been trying to figure this out for the last few days. I'm not a complete Linux newbie but RHEL 6 is just completely different in terms of the install from RHEL 5.4. I just installed RHEL6 with just the base version. During the boot sequence, I am used to seeing the option for Interactive Startup and Show/Hide Details on RHEL5.4. However, on RHEL6 all I see is a progress bar. How do I get the Interactive Startup and Show/Hide Details? I did update the /etc/sysconfig/init and set BOOTUP=verbose but that did absolutely nothing.

TIA for any help.

I figured out the Show Details - F11 but still have not figured out Interactive Startup.

In that same file, you should be able to set the prompt at least for interactive startup.

PROMPT=boolean
A boolean to enable (yes) or disable (no) the hotkey interactive startup. For example:
PROMPT=yes

I saw that and that is set by default to yes. Somehow, I don't think RHEL6 is reading that file anymore. Either that or the hotkey is not defined. I'm used to the 'I'.
