deactivate earlyxdm

Interesting.

set RUN_PARALLEL="no" in
/etc/sysconfig/boot.

That makes boot slower.


Having the switch to graphics mode this early seems ridiculous. Instead of
being able to monitor for errors now, you are switched into a basically
'dead' login display that is virtually non-responsive until the boot
process completes anyway.

I can immediately log-in here, when kdm appears.

I have sometimes the login fail. I can type, but it crashes and returns to the
login screen.

CTRL-ALT-F1 or CTRL-ALT-F10 maybe?

The system is slow to respond at that time.

Perhaps I would try adding "chvt 1" somewhere. Or searching for a "chvt 7" if
it exists and
commenting it out.
