What about pulling the message stuff into plymouth and using dracut to trigger a reboot which shows the grub menu? Something along the lines: "Press ESC to see deatils or 'b' to enter the bootloader" This way we would avoid showing the grub menu, but still give the users to trigger a reboot into the grub menu . The main reason against such an approach is - obvioulsy - the need for a reboot. And on the other side I dunno if dracut is capable to modify grub2's config (to display the menu upon the next boot) - fabian -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
