| When troubleshooting problems with graphical boot, one step is to disable the kernel mode setting feature.

| | |
| Adding <code>nomodeset</code> to the kernel boot prompt in <code>grub</code> disables modesetting. This can be specified during normal boot by entering the <code>GRUB</code> menu and appending <code>nomodeset</code> to the line that begins <code>kernel /vmlinuz...</code>. It can be disabled in configuration by adding the <code>nomodeset</code> option to the same line in <code>/etc/grub.conf</code>.

GRUB with Ext4 Support
Fedora 9 originally included experimental support for Ext4 and Fedora 11 included Ext4 by default however GRUB in that version did not support Ext4 and hence required a separate boot partition formatted as Ext3 or Ext2. Fedora 12 now includes a updated version of GRUB with Ext4 support. Anaconda, the Fedora installer will permit this as well.
