Re: F29 System Wide Change: Hide the grub menu

["Gerald B. Cox" <gbcox@xxxxxx>]

Here is another bug that was opened in 2014 and closed "WONTFIX because it was directly tied to F24.  Here we are with F28

and it still exists:  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1166978

Again, if we're concerned about the cleaning up of the boot process, why are we apparently ignoring bugs that are associated

with processes that fail and throw out spurious messages?    

If I issue:  systemctl status, it tells me my system is "degraded" because of the following:

systemctl list-units --state=failed
  UNIT            LOAD   ACTIVE SUB    DESCRIPTION                          
● dbxtool.service loaded failed failed Secure Boot DBX (blacklist) updater  
● mcelog.service  loaded failed failed Machine Check Exception Logging Daemon
● rngd.service    loaded failed failed Hardware RNG Entropy Gatherer Daemon

The mcelog.service message is associated with rhbz#1166978

The dbxtool.service message is associated with rhbz#1508808

The rngd.service message is associated with rhbz#1490632

I've updated this bug:  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1406844

Basically, since at least F24 - maybe longer my boot has been interrupted by this message:

====> sp5100-tco sp5100-tco: I/O address 0x0cd6 already in use

The bug was closed, and then cloned and reopened. 

As I mentioned before, I have no problem with the grub change as long as there is documentation

that shows people how to reverse it if they wish - and Hans (thank you very much) has agreed to this.

However, seems to me that having this bug (which appears to affect all AMD users) languishing

for years seems to negate the reasoning behind this change.  If we're wanting to implement

a more or less cosmetic change which saves a few seconds, having spurious messages

interrupting and slowing down the boot process should also be resolved.
