1 Hi all,
2
3 Since kernel 3.12.13 (3.12.13-gentoo), the kernel boot messages have
4 disappeared, i.e. they are no longer displayed at boot time. All I get
5 is a line like "Loading kernel 3.12.13". (I just upgraded to
6 3.12.20-gentoo, so now it's something like "Loading kernel 3.12.20".)
7
8 I have no idea why. I checked my grub config and it does not add a
9 "quiet" argument. I see nothing in /etc/rc.conf about quiet (or
10 verbose). And X86_VERBOSE_BOOTUP is set to 'y'. I also looked for
11 "quiet", "boot", and "messages" (while running "make xconfig") and
12 nothing untoward showed up.

14 How do I get back to a normal and sane boot process?

16 Cheers,
17 Hilco
