[New: openFATE 309840] Supress verbose messages after Grub
Feature added by: Anshul Jain (anshuljain) Feature #309840, revision 1 Title: Supress verbose messages after Grub openSUSE-11.3: Unconfirmed Priority Requester: Important Requested by: Anshul Jain (anshuljain) Description: In the current bootsplash scenario, after we select the kernel version (or by default starts to boot with the only available kernel), it gives a brief 3-4 second verbose message on the screen.. something on the lines of "Uncompressing Kernel...<and the kernel options parameters>". It then proceeds to the bootsplash screen of openSUSE that we're all familiar with. This is elegantly supressed under Ubuntu through a patch called quiet.diff. I've added this patch to the grub SRPM and successfully built and installed it on my laptop (its available in my OBS at :- http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/anshuljain/openSUSE_11.2_Upd...). I'd appreciate if the official maintainer of Grub can add this patch so that the boot can be a lot more elegant than what it is right now. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/309840
