Dave explained to me on IRC that the loglevel=[1-8] or quiet options can be passed to the kernel to control this. It would make sense to default to, say, loglevel=4 (that's what quiet sets) if no verbosity-related options are passed to the kernel. Another possible issue: $ runlevel unknown On another machine without the initscripts package from [testing] the output differs: $ runlevel N 5
