From a quick reading of bootsplash.c, using "splash=silent" doesn't really mean

All I know is that with "quiet" we don't get messages, and without it we do :)
that you won't get kernel messages on the console; it just affects how the
splash gets rendered.
"quiet" means "don't show kernel messages below log level 4" (see
linux/init/main.c:quiet_kernel()). Warnings and messages for when "something
goes wrong" *will* be shown, as far as I can tell, which should be enough to
diagnose problems.
Even with "splash=silent quiet" enabled, there are still some messages overlaid
on the splash, but these seem to come from Kiwi itself. Maybe Kiwi is writing
directly to /dev/console or something like that?
Marcus, if you can't reproduce this, try one of the Moblin 2.1 images from
