RHEL 6: View boot messages "behind" the splash screen

Question

I know there was a way to do the above in Fedora. I cannot for the life of me remember what the key was; nor can I find documentation via a web search.

Alt + d works also. I remember it as "details".

Interrupt the GRUB by hitting the Esc key
Press e to edit
Remove the rhgb quiet at the kernel line
Enter and hit b to continue booting

If I understand what you are asking, you should just be able to hit ESC to show the startup messages. To make it go away permanently, remove "rhgb" from the kernel line in /etc/grub.conf.

Just found out: Control+End seems to work on virtual machines.

You may want to edit the kernel line in your grub setup when you boot. Just remove the rhgb

The changes are not permanent.
