Kernel Modification Question

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Good Day,
Does anyone know of any kernel command line parameters that would set the boot message color…?
I can change the menu colors without problem, I can change the status message color on right of screen,
and I found a script that changes the kernel messages’ color,
but I was wondering about all the other text that flies by on boot-up.

Does one have to change the macros in the current working kernel (BG_COLOR, FG_COLOR…?) and then
clone that kernel image with the changes? Or, is there a set of command line switches to override that?

I am trying to match that text color with the appliance I am building…the white burns my eyes hehe.

Thank you in advance.

Most are printed from init scripts, and these have their own macros for
that. And, the system changes in 12.1, so what you do in 11.4 will be lost.

For this appliance, I was just going to keep 11.4.
I suppose it is time to start digging through the kernel source files and see what sort of damage I can do. :wink:
Thank you for the info.
