How do you suppress boot messages?

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?

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.

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

Yeah, it is.

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"

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.
