Hello,

Can someone point out what files of a kernel code need to be modified so kernel boot messages are not displayed?

I've looked into bootsplash and lpp (I think that's the name) patches. Their patches fail on several files when I try to applying them to kernel 2.6.10 code.
I looked into the diff files that are provided by bootsplash and lpp but they don't offer much (in way of comments) as to where exactly the boot messages are being displayed by the source files to be patched.

Any ideas are appreciated. Thnx,
Jess

You need to disable frambuffer under Graphics Support if you don't want text to be displayed during the boot process. What errors are you getting when patching the kernel with the bootspash patch? You have to have a patch that matches the kernel you are patching...

bootsplash

Oh, and welcome to LQ

http://www.thelinuxbox420.com is really a nice site.

I like it

I will give it a 10/10

Thank you!

Hey guys, thnx a bunch for the suggestions. I was able to conceal the boot messages by adding thie following in my boot loader conffig

console=ttyX
where X is something other than 0.

I also found some stuff in the init/main.c file of the kernel source. I piped some of those calls to /dev/null etc etc .

Thnx again for the info...

Huh, but why u wanna change the main.c ?

Can explain more detail? Thanx

Hi Linux~Powered,

Does ur guide for the bootsplash enable the progress bar?

I check the scripts for the bootsplash-script utility under /etc/rc.d/rc.bootsplash and /etc/rc.d/rc.splash.

rc.bootsplash do have rc.bootsplash but does this mean the bootsplash is configured?

Thanx in advance

Kind regards,

The project I am involved in requires that we modify and control all aspects of it. Plus by modify the kernel we can determine exactly it's behaviour and that is "exactly" what we need .

No, I'd rather look at the screen scrolling text vs. a progress bar. Sorry

Excellent!
Could you further exactly what do you meaN BY BOOT LOADER config.
Tell me the file name that you did edit.

Thanks and cheers!
