The reason it's blank is because grub tells the kernel to not spew out 
information about device detection and such. If you want to see it, 
remove the "quiet" flag from grub.conf. (Or, if you want to see it once, 
press 'e'(edit) when grub menu comes up, remove 'quiet' from the command 
line and press 'b' (boot))


Also, I agree with the other posters - I use Fedora on my laptop and 
frequently wish it started up faster. Sleep mode is nice (and *appears* 
to work), but I don't trust it all that much. I'd rather the data on my 
HD was synced :)
