Re: [gentoo-user] iOS and Linux

[gentoo-user] Kernel boot messages are no longer displayed
Hi all, Since kernel 3.12.13 (3.12.13-gentoo), the kernel boot messages have disappeared, i.e. they are no longer displayed at boot time. All I get is a line like Loading kernel 3.12.13. (I just upgraded to 3.12.20-gentoo, so now it's something like Loading kernel 3.12.20.) I have no idea why. I checked my grub config and it does not add a quiet argument. I see nothing in /etc/rc.conf about quiet (or verbose). And X86_VERBOSE_BOOTUP is set to 'y'. I also looked for quiet, boot, and messages (while running make xconfig) and nothing untoward showed up. How do I get back to a normal and sane boot process? Cheers, Hilco

By the way, I checked again and it says Loading Linux 3.12.20-gentoo ... (just to be complete and precise). What was the last kernel that booted normally? Does it still boot normally? I don't quite remember. :-( Probably whatever kernel came before 3.12.13 but I don't have any leftover configs or anything like that. I ran the sys-kernel/aufs-sources (to be able to use Docker) so it might have been one of those but I doubt it. The kernel config files for each kernel are installed as /boot/config-3.12.nn so you can compare them to see what changed. Well, not by default... :-) In any case, I have deleted it all. It didn't seem a difficult thing to fix and whenever I had logged in other stuff happened that made me forget about the boot messages. :-) It's just today I decided to google for it. Surprisingly, nobody is complaining about this so it must be something specific to my environment. I just have no clue what. I certainly did nothing (on purpose) to get rid of boot messages.
