I do remove the quiet but I also remove the splash.  Interesting that I never even tried leaving the splash option.  I just assumed that was for the splash graphic and that if I left it there I would not see the messages I want.
<br><br>BTW, I also add a vga=773 (I think that was the mode) and a verbose just to get the most information in case something breaks.&nbsp; I must admit I never experimented with the difference.<br>-- <br>The nice part about being a pessimist is that you are constantly being either proven right or pleasantly surprised.
