I don't know if it's documented anywhere, but the name stands for

Red Hat Graphical Boot (rhbg)

That's how I remember what it does.
Although I don't know why I can remember that and never ACPI or APIC or EPIC or 
anything else.  I always have to look those up.

commented that out and now that works as I want.  I also like seeing the

booting up, it works for a while and then disappears.  I have to click it

remove " rhgb quiet" from all "kernel ..." lines in /boot/grub/grub.conf
