    Start-Up Sequence change (Oracle Linux)?

    Hi,
    I am not sure if anyone can help or know what i am talking about unless you have used Oracle Linux.

    Basically i 'm wanting to change the Start-up loading bar for Oracle Linux from the the normal Red Hat one (which is the red progress bar, that has 3 colours at the bottom of a black screen), to this other one that i have seen used during the start up sequence of Oracle Linux.
    The other one i am talking about is a loading bar which as the system starts up a light ring rotates followed by a thick inner circle progress bar that once complete forms an "O".
    I know the one i am talking about exists because when i remove the AMD Video Driver Software, the start-up sequence changes from the boring red hat progress bar to Oracle's "O" loading screen.
    The question is does anybody know how to change these settings without removing the driver software?

    Does the installation of the AMD video driver change options in your grub.conf possibly? It sounds like you want the "rhgb quiet" kernel boot parameters options and it sounds like when you install the AMD drivers, it removes those options (which sounds backwards to me).

    You could test this theory by having the AMD driver software installed, and then reboot and at the grub prompt, modify the boot time parameters and add "rhgb quiet" to the kernel line. If they're already there, see if vga="" is specified. If it is remove it and see what happens.

    Nope, there are no changes to the grub config file.

    It must be something the amd driver edits, which means it might be related to Xorg or X11.

    UPDATE:
    I worked out how to change it. The start-up sequence is actually referring to plymouth, so when the 3 bars is loading, its actually the backup playmouth theme when your video display isn't correct or so i learnt from here: http://allmybase.com/2009/07/17/prop...ring-plymouth/

    For me it was as simple as adding the "vga=838" to the end of the kernel line in grub.

    Sorry if i wasted anybodies time.
