I'm pretty sure it is because of where we are in the process at
that
point. For example, translations - can we render Indic or CJK
glyphs to
the screen at this point in the boot process? I'm not quite sure
that's
possible? Another thing with translations is they take up
additional
disk space and I think (don't quote me on this, maybe Peter or one
of
the other grub experts could speak up) grub2 is a bit chubby
compared to
grub, but its space usage is a concern so to not have to have all
the
translation files for the languages we support would definitely be
good.
(grub2's girth is one of the reasons - on upstream's recommendation
-
that we don't allow installing the bootloader to a partition now.)
What about pulling the message stuff into plymouth and using dracut
to
trigger a reboot which shows the grub menu? Something along the
lines:
"Press ESC to see deatils or 'b' to enter the bootloader"
Plymouth is not a mandatory boot process element right now, precisely
because people who cared about fast boot found it unnecessary, and
people
who cared about maintainability also found it got in the way. Please
do
not advocate hardwiring it again
plymouth is a no-go as requirement
"rd.plymouth=0 plymouth.enable=0" are my first kernel params on a lot
of machines
[root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ cat /etc/dracut.conf.d/90-plymouth.conf
omit_dracutmodules+="plymouth"
is present on ANY machine i maintain
the only thing i want on a machine is:
* no graphical stuff at boot time, not any of it
* no submenus in the boot-menu
* the kernel list dispalyed for 1 second
* no rhgb
* no quiet
why?
because i want to see what me system does if i look how it
boots up within 15 seconds and i want to face ANY possible
warning nobody cares especially after a upgrade
