[SOLVED] How to get rid of systemd "starting version 217" message?

Hello,

I'm trying to achieve quiet login and messages like "starting version 217" or 218 appeared recently.
I was able to track it down to systemd but I cannot find how to disable it.

Any hints?

Rebuild your initramfs:

# mkinitcpio -p linux

See this thread:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=191243

Sorry, you mean get rid of the message entirely don't you?

I'm typing without thinking again...

I don't know how to get rid of it, sorry.

Are you using 'quiet' and 'show_status=0' in your kernel commandline?

add rd.udev.log-priority=3 to your kernel command line.
See: systemd-udevd.service.html

Btw. my refind_linux.conf:

"Boot with standard options" "rw root=UUID=49784a9c-9029-4f3d-936a-5dce55d5d7fe vga=current quiet loglevel=3 rd.udev.log-priority=3 splash initrd=\initramfs-linux.img"

Thank you for your answers!

@Head_on_a_Stick:
Yes, I wanted to completely remove the message.

@karol:
I was using 'quiet' and 'loglevel=0'. Adding 'show_status=0' (or replacing 'loglevel=0' with it) did not help.

@jakschu:
Adding 'rd.udev.log-priority=3' solved the problem, the message is not visible anymore during boot. Many thanks!

Marking post as solved.

Hi,

Since this topic appeared on top in my google search, I'm posting here another way that doesn't require to edit your kernel boot parameters (which imho should only be done in exceptional situations).

Just edit your /etc/udev/udev.conf file

# see udev.conf(5) for details

udev_log=3

Then, rebuild your initramfs

mkinitcpio -p linux

You're done.

Modifying the kernel params worked for me, but the `udev.conf` approach did not
