&gt; Hi,<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; We&#39;ve used the kernel command line &quot;splash=silent&quot; in the past (as<br>
&gt; opposed to &quot;splash=verbose&quot;) to indicate that we want a splash screen.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; Most of the upstream projects just check for &quot;splash&quot; on it&#39;s own. The<br>
&gt; absence of the word &quot;splash&quot; means the same as our current &quot;splash=verbose&quot;.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; In order to make this work properly we have to patch both upstream<br>
&gt; systemd, initscripts, dracut and plymouth.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; As far as I can tell, there is no gain in doing this so I&#39;m intending to<br>
&gt; convert our usage to the upstream defaults. If anyone objects, please<br>
&gt; speak out now!!<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; As a separate issue, kernel debug output is controlled by the &quot;quiet&quot;<br>
&gt; keyword. We don&#39;t use this (haven&#39;t since 2003) but personally I believe<br>
&gt; it&#39;s time to include this. It gives a much smoother and more user<br>
&gt; friendly boot.<br>
&gt;<br>
&gt; So again, unless anyone objects, I&#39;ll update the tools to set these two<br>
&gt; keywords together when we boot. (I thought that there used to be a GUI<br>
&gt; tool to choose the theme here and whether it was verbose or silent... I<br>
&gt; can&#39;t seem to see it - what am I missing?)<br>
&gt;</p>
<p>Unless it&#39;s all done tonight please wait after beta 2<br></p>
<p>&gt; Col<br>
