Encryption on Fedora 12

If you have an encrypted drive set up on Fedora 12, you might have problems booting.  It sometimes doesn’t take your password, but other times it does.  You can fix it by editing /etc/grub.conf and adding the following to the end of your kernel startup line:

rhgb vga=0×318

That will force a graphical boot, which will correctly accept the password.  From https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F12_bugs#encrypted-password-for-text-boot
