Sorry if I ask something stupid, if Petr's modification of the /etc/sysconfig/init file provides for a black and white bootup (it does) and an entry in /etc/profile or the respective .bashrc files provides a black and white login (TERM=linux-m/export TERM) what is the benefit of defining the black and white term on kernel level before these steps. Best regards, Thomas
IIUC, the BOOTUP change occurs only when init starts up, not during kernel (dmesg) output. Of course, the clarity they provide in getting us to spend so much effort on finding a seemingly simple answer may lead us to wrong conclusions.
You will soon get to a point where the billable hours to fix it will outweigh the cost of a color monitor. ;-)
