[SOLVED] Truly silent boot

I want to get rid of the following output when kernel is loading:

early console in decompress-kernel
Decompressing Linux . . . Parsing ELF . . .done
Booting the kernel

Anybody knows how?

Re: [SOLVED] Truly silent boot

I've appended the flag loglevel and the output stills the same. Do you have any other ideia?

Re: [SOLVED] Truly silent boot

I think that part of the boot is actually your bootloader.

Re: [SOLVED] Truly silent boot

Don't think so, as grub and syslinux both show it.

I think it comes from the initramfs created by mkinitcpio, check mkinitcpio manpage maybe there's an option to disable that output.

Re: [SOLVED] Truly silent boot

Take a look at my 'huskkernel' hook here.

I still get the fsck and the autologin messages. Haven't quite figured out how to get rid of those yet. Maybe it's because I use LUKS on encrypted RAID and I need (want) to enter the passphrase every time.

Stop using an initramfs

Re: [SOLVED] Truly silent boot

Interesting... I use gummiboot, and I don't see that stuff.

Edit: Here is /proc/cmdline (split into two lines because of the horizontal scroll bug in FluxBB):

initrd=\EFI\arch\initramfs-linux-git.img rootflags=noatime,autodefrag,subvol=rootfs root=LABEL=archlinux \
rw add_efi_memmap libahci.ignore_sss=1 acpi_osi="!Windows 2012" quiet loglevel=3

Re: [SOLVED] Truly silent boot

The problem is not in the bootloader. I have to compile a custom kernel.

I found the solution here: http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-975550.html

Thanks!
