Funny, Grub Plymouth Issue

I recently successfully noved the entire contents my entire installation from what was a traditional ext3 installation to an lvm installation. Everything seems to work. However....

When I boot my computer I only manage to get the "text" boot screen. But, if I click on [alt][d] and then do it again I see the plymouth screen.

Can anyone advise me on how to get the plymouth boot screen to appear normally

CONTENTS OF grub.conf
-----------------------------------
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora (2.6.30.5-43.fc11.x86_64)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.30.5-43.fc11.x86_64 ro root=/dev/mapper/vg_computer-lv_root vga=795 rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-2.6.30.5-43.fc11.x86_64.img

Thanks

Did you try to remove the "vga=795"? Looking at my grub.conf, I found that I don't have it.

Try adding "nomodeset nopat" to the kernel command line as well.

The vga=XXX is the correct way to set up for plymouth if your graphics card does not support kernel mode setting. Currently kernel mode setting for nVidia graphic cards is experimental at best.

if you add "plymouth:debug" to your kernal command line, plymouth should output a ton of debugging information to your screen. Plymount drops back to the text theme (i.e. the tricolor bar at the bottom of the screen) if it has a problem with the default theme.
