I am so sorry this was sent as html.

Here it is in plain text:

Greetings, everyone.

I noticed that when I upgraded to FC 11, the screen lets me know that I
have to hit the F1 key to continue. How can I disable this so it
automatically continues?

Thanks,
Kevin

Thanks,
Kevin

Kevin,

Is this a Dell? I have seen this on Dell GX280 systems where I work. I think it has to do with the BIOS settings. Restore to defaults and see what happens. If still doesn't work read the documentation.

Is this prompt coming from the BIOS, or Fedora? It sounds more like
it's a BIOS prompt than something coming from Fedora, but if you are
using a boot loader to support multiple OSs on the machine then that
would be another possibility, and I've seen a few *NIX daemons that
will pause on config errors and wait for a key press during boot. Is
there anything else on the screen immediately above the prompt that
might be relevant?

If it's a BIOS prompt, then Ed's advice is good. Press the required
key on boot (usually "Del") and check the BIOS settings - there will
probably be a setting for halting on errors or pausing on the BIOS
configuration summary screen that needs to be changed. If you have a
graphical BIOS boot screen enabled, then you may need to disable that
as well in order to see what it would otherwise be telling you. Quite
why installing Fedora would change BIOS settings though, I have no
idea - maybe if you opened the case to swap hard drives or something
you could cause a setting reset.

Ed,
Yes, it's a Dell PowerEdge 1420. I did mess with the BIOS to try to get
it to boot from the dvdrom, but to no avail. I had to boot the dvdrom
from usb. I will restore defaults and see if that works.


Thanks for the reply,
Kevin

I restored all bios info to default and now it boots fine. It even boots
to desktop faster. I am very impressed.

Thank you,
Kevin
