i just rebooted under 2.6.23-0.202.rc8.fc8 and i looked closely and i
didn't see any of those progress phrases, even if they were hard to
read.    OTOH, i'm not running f8t2, just f8t1 fully updated, if that
makes a difference.

but there's definitely some weird colour issues going on here.  when i
want to build a new kernel and run "make menuconfig" in the kernel
source directory, the window that appears has a much more pronounced
light blue tint than i ever remember seeing until now.  that's
something that has *definitely* changed.
