In the Ubuntu boot process at least, it's the only thing on the screen at that point. There's a huge difference between nothing and something, particularly when "something" shows up for nearly everyone, looks like it might be some kind of error they might need to worry about, and is irrelevant nearly all the time. > About the patch: silencing a boot script completely so it cannot print error > or warning message makes the boot experience worse. > I just fixed successfully a kernel panic while booting which was caused by > this > resume script (see my other bug report #588466). > So please do not apply this patch. Error and warning messages are useful. I don't mind if it's visible in some kind of verbose mode, but the complaint about not being able to resume due to there being no resume image should at the very least not be visible when 'quiet' is on the kernel command line. -- Colin Watson [[email protected]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
