[Solved] 'New' error messages during init after updating initscripts
After updating to the latest initscripts, I got some error messages during init that I hadn't seen before. They occurred during one of the UDev steps, and were caused by an attempt to load an IDE module despite the controller being disabled. The controller shows up in Windows devmgr too, so I guess it's a failing of the mobo or BIOS.
In any case, I downgraded and found that the errors were nothing new. I'm just curious if the appearance of the errors during init was by design or a happy accident.

But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.

Maybe it's because of the VERBOSE parameter?

Doh! That's surely it. I had never paid attention to VERBOSE before, and didn't grok the realtionship between its removal and the suggestion to use the quiet parameter. Thanks.

Re: [Solved] 'New' error messages during init after updating initscripts
I appended 'quiet' to my kernel parameters line, but now I'm getting some kind of message about modprobe usage (similar to when you run modprobe on a command line without any parameters). I'm not sure if that was there before, and it doesn't show up in my dmesg output.
My kernel command line is: "root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/abd9b1ea-f754-4752-9410-3dcf88f72d7c quiet pcie_aspm=force ro"
Anyone else getting a message about modprobe?
Also, personally I preferred the previous behavior where verbosity was set in rc.conf, as it is supposed to be the "main" configuration file.

Re: [Solved] 'New' error messages during init after updating initscripts
You should start your own topic and try to be specific about what you see.
Check /var/log/boot, but be prepared, it has loads of escape sequences in it

If you have the new (i.e. current) initscripts, you should be fine:

I had never noticed the file before yesterday, actually. And I'm up-to-date, yet it's still full of 'em.

You need to reboot.
After you do, run
tail /var/log/bootMine isn't perfect, but I've already sent an e-mail to the dev (it's a matter of just a sed oneliner)
[karol@black ~]$ tail /var/log/boot

Re: [Solved] 'New' error messages during init after updating initscripts
You need to reboot.
Well, yeah. I had rebooted several times. That was a new install, but on an older one I didn't see any difference between the latest entries and the earliest (dated Jun 20).
In any case, mine looks like what you posted, so I guess I expected too much from just briefly glancing at the commits you linked. Thanks.

It won't change the text that has already been written to /var/log/boot (but you can do that manually by running that sed oneliner), but the latest logging should be w/o the ANSI escape codes.
I'm going to send a patch to the ML wrt that one ('^[[171G') that got left behind for some reason.
