The initscripts haven't been updated.  It really does not matter as Arch has no real versions and will be removed with the next initscripts update.

Open /etc/issue and change Core Dump to Overlord. 'Problem' solved

Re: I want to know why display core dump when arch starts!

So why wasn't this one little piece of text modified for the release? As shallow as this may sound, it's really disappointing.

.. because it's essentially not a "release", not in the way other distros do releases anyway.  It's a new installer version and a new snapshot of the repos.  That's why the text is being removed altogether in the next release of filesystem and initscripts.

sniff, say bye to the surprise of seeing a new start message
it doesn't matter, but, it was a kind of surprise when you saw it being different

Is it weird if I put my own message in rc.sysinit?

May I suggest for your message "I'm Dr. Richard Cranium".

I sure someone can come up with a script that places random text in that file on shutdown....  How about from your browser cahce?

No, though I freely admit the stupidity of it.
It just sort of seemed strange that the developers put so much great work into Arch and the release (err...snapshot) announcements and then
left that one piece of text unaltered.

Re: I want to know why display core dump when arch starts!

Hmm yes really strange that they would gloss over two words in the bootup sequence that mean nothing and can be changed by any user. I just can't understand it! It's not like they put their efforts elsewhere into meaningful things. [/sarcasm]

Personally, I think Segmentation Fault would be a great name. Hmmm...

I think that the best name was Don't Panic, I was bored of seeing always 42 as a reference to that book.

They do text highlighting/colour.  Look in /etc/rc.d/functions

Re: I want to know why display core dump when arch starts!

GAH, you silly people!
Now I'm going to have to go off and write a program that selects a random string from a file to show on startup!
(I'll probably fill the file with all the Arch snapshot names)
EDIT: I should mention that you're silly because you managed to get me following a random compulsion.

EDIT AGAIN: Done! I now get a random snapshot name in that spot whenever my system boots. I can post the script if anyone wants it, it's three lines.

EDIT ONE LAST TIME: Oh wait, three lines and a extra file full of snapshot names.
