    I tried re-running the installation using "nofb" but no change. I also
    removed rhgb from the grub line, but still no change. It boots up and
    into what I assume is the firstboot program. Is there a way to set
    grub to tell the system to boot in runlevel 3 or anything?

    As far as the output on boot, smartd fails, but it moves too fast for
    me to see the Xorg outputs before going into graphical mode.
