How to see daemon status at boot time

Hi

I use opensuse 11.3 and would like to see daemon status at boot time, instead of the chameleon with a progress bar.

How can I do this ?
A grud option to disable ?

Thanks

Press escape to close the splash screen.

First, on seeing that this is your first post here: Welcome to these Forums.

As please_try_again and the screen tell you, you can prress the Escape key to switch to the “talkative” screen.

When you want this more or less permanent there is the Kernel parameter splash. It now has the value splash=silent and can be changed to splash=verbose.
You can type this in the GRUB screen (the same where you can choose what to boot) to activate it for that one boot.
You can change it in* /boot/grub/menu.lst *in those kernel statements you want this to work.

add splash=0 as a boot parameter in grub

A kernel option in gru menu.lst file: “splash=verbose”.

You also have to apply it in “/etc/sysconfig/bootloader” and perhaps
“/etc/sysconfig/bootsplash”, or else the previous change will be reverted
on the next kernel update.

Thanks for your answers.

I will apply splash=verbose.

Better in /etc/sysconfig/bootloader or in /boot/grub/menu.lst
if the kernel is updated ?

Does it work also at shutdown time ?

How about doing this simple test yourself?

Both are necessary.

Left as an exercise to the student :wink:

I get daemon status at boot and shutdown time.
