'Noisy' boot

Up until yesterday, my boot up process was clean. Just informing me about things being loaded with [DONE] next to it.
Yesterday, however, it became very cluttered with unneccessary stuff like what it is running in each second. How can I make it what it was before?
My current boot entry is:

title  Arch
root   (hd0,2)
kernel /vmlinuz26 root=/dev/sda2 resume=/dev/sda2 resume_offset=1748992 ro quiet vga=785 sr0=ide-scsi
initrd /kernel26.img

Re: 'Noisy' boot

Change the "initrd /kernel26.img" to "initramfs-linux.img" and the "/vmlinuz26" to "/vmlinuz-linux"

Re: 'Noisy' boot

Add the loglevel kernel boot parameter maybe? e.g. loglevel=4
See https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentatio … meters.txt

I never used loglevel=4 and it was always fine. It started literally with no apparent reason. The kernel line is the same as before.

Re: 'Noisy' boot

The apparent reason is you updated the kernel. I said "maybe" because I thought it was a behavior already reverted in the latest kernel, but why don't you just try and see if my suggestion works for you?

It didn't. Exactly the same cluttered output. And I don't think I updated the kernel when it went south.

If loglevel=4 doesn't silence them, try loglevel=3.

Won't make a difference because even 4 allowed things it should silence by definition. It looks like kernel parameters are being simply ignored or they changed...

Re: 'Noisy' boot

Some users reported similar problems, maybe you should file a bug report upstream.
