Would it seem reasonable to anyone else to simply rip the "rhgb"
option the heck out of the anaconda based grub configuration tool, at
least by default? The extra software stack and features required to
support a pretty "oooh, it's booting!!!" graphical boot process has
repeatedly proven fragile and actually blocks the critical task that
is supposed to run from grub, namely booting the system.
