DOlson Posted October 4, 2002 Report Share Posted October 4, 2002 I tried console=/dev/tty2, quiet, and so forth. Nothing works properly. The closest one is console=/dev/null, but then my progress bar doesn't go... Is there anyway I can do this? Or even just set my font to be 100% transparent?

theYinYeti Posted October 4, 2002 Report Share Posted October 4, 2002 Isn't it possible to use Aurora? Besides, Aurora seems to be themable, so you could create a minimalist theme for Aurora... Yves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOlson Posted October 4, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2002 I don't want to install Aurora. I already have a nice bootsplash logo going on here. I want to hide the kernel messages... That's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recompiling your kernel with "Support for console on virtual terminal" turned OFF under "Character devices" will work. I accidently turned this off recently when recompiling the MDK9 kernel. Only the splash screen would appear but text mysteriously was gone. Of course reenabling the option returned things back to normal. Regular VC after booting worked just fine. Hope this helps.

ab2ms Posted October 6, 2002 Report Share Posted October 6, 2002 have you tried boot themes-->create new theme? you can choose your own picture and there is a box to check that says "make kernal messages quiet by default" But this may just be another way to accomplist what you already tried Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Les Hazelton Posted October 6, 2002 Report Share Posted October 6, 2002 I have noticed that, on my system, if the lilo.conf file reads like the following append line (with quiet someplace in the line) the messages are kept to only a few error messages. image=/boot/vmlinuz label=linux root=/dev/hda1 initrd=/boot/initrd.img append="devfs=mount hdc=ide-scsi quiet" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cannonfodder Posted October 6, 2002 Report Share Posted October 6, 2002 It still displays stuff so if DOlson's intent is to have a totally 100% clean display (no text), that won't do it. But you are right though. I took the quiet out (cuz I like the scrolling text) in order to get more detail.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOlson Posted October 6, 2002 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2002 The only reason is because this is a gaming console, so it'd be more professional to have just a load bar and no text. So far, I can get a load bar with text, or no text with no load bar. I'm recompiling the kernel now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
