Re: Getting the bootloader to display so I can boot different OS

One other posibility is that you have the timeout variable in /boot/grub/grub.conf set to 1 or 0 check that and try setting it to something more reasnable like 15.

Hello David,

It sounds your machine boots via runlevel 1 to runlevel 5.
Then the splashscreen will not be visible.

Try it with the command 'reboot', maybe that works better.
That's my experience with RHES4 machines.

Good luck.

I have a dual boot RHEL and XP machine. When I have the RHEL OS booted
and I do a
shutdown -r now it reboots but it doesnt' show the grub splash screen so

to boot from XP. When the machine is actually powered off and I power it
on I get the splash screen.

How do I get the boot loader screen to show up when I'm logged into Red
Hat and want to switch
to XP?

Thanks very much.
