Description Aurelien Oudelet 2021-02-05 14:27:13 CET

Since all Kernel 5.10 series have landed in Cauldron and now that there are also in Mageia 7.

These error-like level empty line is displayed each boot, and sometimes interfere with plymouth boot splash.

Here is the corresponding output from "journalctl -b" log:

Comment 1 Aurelien Oudelet 2021-02-05 14:32:27 CET

Assigning to Kernel and Drivers maintainers.

Remark: "quiet splash" is correctly passed to Kernel.
The spurious line is displayed each time a 5.10 based Kernel is used.

Not affected: Kernel 5.9 and earlier.
Not affected: AMD and Intel graphic cards-based systems.

Not sure if removing the nvidia non free binary this solves the issue...
Should use a Live ISO while not using it...

Summary: spurrious error empty line while booting => Spurious error empty line displayed at boot time with nvidia-based graphic cards

Comment 2 Aurelien Oudelet 2021-02-05 14:34:58 CET

Adding nvidia-current maintainer if he could reproduce it.
