boot messages interrupt the boot code security password input
« on: January 15, 2009, 09:52:47 AM »
This is a minor issue but I thought I would report it. When the security boot code is used the root password entry dialog is interrupted by messages like "sda cache write through enabled ( not the exact message)" which makes the password entry a little confusing.

Are these from the kernel messages when you use the bootcodes i.e. from http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=431.0 ?  If so, just turn them off again.

No I had all those messages turned off via "quiet".

quiet is an alias for loglevel=4, debug is for loglevel=10. Try loglevel=3 and lower until you don't see those messages anymore. Try not to jump straight to 1, because you still want to see the critical messages like your cpu exploded ;)

Could you post the exact message? If I can find it in the source, I'll be able to tune it's loglevel up so it won't show up on "quiet" anymore (after the next kernel update)

The only barriers that can stop you are the ones you create yourself.

Ok, here's a brute force screen shot and my isolinux.cfg.
