[SOLVED] Messages Not Showing During Boot

It has been a couple of years since I've done anything with Arch Linux and I just finished a clean install on my ASUS netbook. In the past, during the boot process, messages would be displayed on screen about the modules being loaded.  Following this install, the only thing displayed is the following.

starting version 218
/dev/sda1: clean, 82796/15007744 files, 1459563/59999232 blocks

This stays on screen until I get the login prompt.

Is this new behavior or is something wrong?  Can I change it back to the old way if nothing is wrong.

Thanks,

Kent

Re: [SOLVED] Messages Not Showing During Boot

If you're using GRUB, do you have "quiet" in the kernel parameters?

Re: [SOLVED] Messages Not Showing During Boot

In the file /etc/defaults/grub is a line "GRUB_CMDLIND_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet"

Is there some other place I should look?

Re: [SOLVED] Messages Not Showing During Boot

 cat /proc/cmdline 

results in

 BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmllinuz-linux root=UUID=0aa0bfdd-b95c-46bd-9b61-94cdf0ac915e rw quite

How do I remove "quite" from the kernel parameters?

Remove "quiet" from /etc/default/grub (leave the empty quotation marks) and run:

# grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg
