To be clear, as I alluded to in my previous replies, none of my (100+) OS installations has rhgb or quiet on any kernel line in any stanza I ever use, while nearly every kernel line among Grub stanzas contains a 3. I detest obfuscatory GUI startup. I read every word you wrote, and asked again only because I have no idea why it never shows up, other than maybe it's that illegible blue text I do notice, or it's getting lost among the screen clearing that occurs more than once during each boot. Should I just hold down the I key as soon as anything shows up on screen? If not, what landmarks among messages should I wait for? I tried random times, but I get either nothing at all, or just streams of iiiiiiii or IIIIIIII. -- "How much better to get wisdom than gold, to choose understanding rather than silver."
