Description of problem: For couple of months I have such problem: after booting my pc, I see some kernel messages. Then current console stops displaying any new ones. Most of the rest init messages are going to another console (if I press alt+right arrow I see them). The problem started in mandriva and i was hoping it will dissapear in mageia ;) So if I don't switch to another console I don't see ie messages: 1. Press 'I' to enter interactive mode 2. FSCK for disks 3. Most Deamons startup statuses However some of the messages still appear in 1. console but it happens too fast to find any rules Additional info: I use kernel and grub compiled by myself, but AFAIR it was the same with mandriva's ones. How reproducible: Every time I boot my pc Steps to Reproduce: Boot linux in the verbose mode (no graphical "loader" with progresbar) Reproducible: Steps to Reproduce:
Here's a hack, edit /etc/sysconfig/mkinitrd and add this line to it: chmod a-x /usr/libexec/plymouth/plymouth-populate-initrd save the file then recreate the initrd of your kernel. mkinitrd sources this file before creating the initrd of any kernel, so this will ensure /usr/libexec/plymouth/plymouth-populate-initrd is not executable; mkinitrd checks the execute permissions bit of that file, and if not executable mkinitrd won't include plymouth stuff in the initrd. (the tip about /usr/libexec/plymouth/plymouth-populate-initrd is from fcrozat, a long time ago).
yeah works, thx

@ Michal Was the problem still there in Mageia 1 rc and Mageia 1, in other words: did you need Ahmad's/fcrozat's hack again?

i've edited this file as Ahmad said. I did not do anything else since that time. /etc/sysconfig/mkinitrd still has this "chmod a-x ..." line
@ Michal Thanks for the feedback. Closing this bug as "worksforme"
