While installing the beta i happily thought RedHat put in some sort of patch to the kernel to not print out all those kernel-messages to the screen while booting. When the install finished and i tried to boot the system, i found the system still printing out kernel-messages. The thing is that while installing the system i got some pictures showing up in the installer about (from memory, not sure about spelling or if its 100% as it was written in the image) "Who understood those kernel message anyway?". But, the kernel is still printing messages. Is it not only the init-process not printing messages and thats not the kernel is it?
Sorry if this has already been a topic. Would it be a totaly loss if the kernel got patched not to print information to the screen, and rather just logged to a file? The things printed while booting is not realy errors but lots of information about IDE and other cards.. etc. These information is not realy interesting for all people, and maybe also not understandable and easy to be taken for errors. Having the boot graphical at this stage is maybe hard, but only showing an "Init.." and showing only errors -
Well, if you really hate them, add 'console=/dev/null' to kernel command line.
could that be hard to make?
Probably and issue best taking care of by the real kernel-developers?
