I am experiencing severe graphical display problem during boot up of
RHEL4. (Virtual PC does not support 24bit... need to change to 16bit)

Postings on the web seem to indicate that if I press alt+space_bar I
can switch to text mode.

This does not work.

cntrl-alt-F3 does not work either.

Does anybody know how to switch during the boot up process to boot up
in Text mode?

thanks!

# vi /etc/grub.conf
delete the line that says "hiddenmenu"
delete the "quiet" and "rhgb" options on the kernel lines

# rpm -e rhgb

Doing the above things stops Red Hat from hiding anything from you.
