[SOLVED] Boot with all information on screen

crystal · 2014-11-11 15:09:59

Hi Guys

So far I used Debian distro. I'm happy ARCH user now. I have one problem with this booting stuff. In raspberry Pi (arch) I can see during boot all messages. In arch on laptop I can't see. Could you please guys, point me to right section of wiki to fix this problem. I did check part silent boot but I think I've missed something.

Regards
crystal

Remove "quiet" from your kernel parameters in your bootloader.

Yeah, but.... Raspberry Pi uses a bootloader that is vastly different than anything that starts an Intel Arch Installation, Remember that Arch Arm Linux is a different distribution than Arch Linux. You really need to take questions to their forums. A lot of information in our forums are directly applicable to Arch Arm, and you are welcome to get information from these forums. We do ask, however, that questions in these Arch forums remain applicable to a pure Arch (on Intel) system.

Regardless, this article provides a good reference as to how Ras-Pi boots, and the purpose of the various files in /boot. You will be interested in the file /boot/cmdline.txt. But be careful. Of course, if you get it wrong and render your system un-bootable, you can always move the SD to another machine, fix the cmdline.txt file and move the SD back.

But, back to moderator mode -- As much as I love Arch Arm, I am going to close and bin this thread. But, don't fear, the Arch Arm forums are excellent and they will be able to assist you,

A very astute reader contacted me to point out that I missed the point on this one. More coffee is in order for me.
It is now clear that the OP wants to make the laptop behave like the Arch Arm installation. Sorry for the noise.

Reopening and moving to Installation.

Hi Guys

Thank you for a help. All I did was edit this file /boot/grub/grub.cfg

now, output

BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=e8804b80-a0af-4069-a8ac-cd7861bc3887 rw cryptdevice=/dev/sda2:main

Thank you all for help. Sorry that I post thread in wrong section.

Regards
crystal

It wasn't you. I was clearly not focused this morning and had closed and dust binned the thread. One of your colleagues politely informed me that I had my head up and locked. They were right, so I reopened the thread, but had no recollection from whence it came, so I picked a category that made sense to me. Then I had a big steaming mug of delicious dark French roast to wake me up.
