Boot Messages Should Remain Hidden At Bootup Even After Pressing Any Keystrokes

hello all,
i am using Centos 6. i want to disable boot log messages at the time of boot-up even after pressing any key like.. Esc,Alt+d,any arrow keys..

i tried to disable keys by using the command:
xmodmap -e "remove Escape = Escape" and all...
but its not working.
what should i do?? boot messages like this:

iptables: Applying firewall rules: [ OK ]
Bringing up loopback interface: [ OK ]
Bringing up interface eth0:
Determining IP information for eth0... done.
[ OK ]
Starting system logger: [ OK ]
Starting system message bus: [ OK ]
Retrigger failed udev events[ OK ]
Starting snmpd: netlink: 12 bytes leftover after parsing attributes.
[ OK ]
Starting snmptrapd: [ OK ]
Starting sshd: [ OK ]
Starting mysqld: [ OK ]
Starting Dovecot Imap: [ OK ]
Starting postfix: [ OK ]
Starting mailgraph: [ OK ]
Starting httpd: [ OK ]
Starting crond: [ OK ]
Starting squid: .[ OK ]
Starting fail2ban: [ OK ]
Starting atd: [ OK ]

i am using linux centos 6..
instead of using up-down arrows to read boot log messages , can i create own combination key or shortcut key to read the same.. i want to disable arrows at that time..

thanks in advance..

Hi All,

I have Rsyslog 8.7 installed on the Redhat linux (Linux version 3.8.13-55.1.5.el6uek.x86_64 (mockbuild@ca-build44.us.oracle.com) (gcc version 4.4.7 20120313 (Red Hat 4.4.7-3)). So I don't need messages logged somewhere else.

I happened to notice the size of 2 files /var/log/boot.log and /var/spool/plymouth/boot.log kept growing. They are eating up my HDD space. I disabled file /var/log/boot.log in /etc/rsyslog.conf. Where can I do the same thing for file /var/spool/plymouth/boot.log?

Regards,

Robert

I had Kali and Linux Mint installed and erased Mint to install Centos7. Grub was totally deleted and I could only boot into grub recovery. Many hours of cussing later I got Kali back, I can see Centos filesystem mounted on my desktop and in disk utility. I never finished setting Centos up as I was rushed out the door which probably caused the problem in the first place, for some reason it's raid and although it's 2 harddrives they are not set up for raid and 1 is Kali and 1 is Centos. The Centos boot folder is still empty after running grub-install on it twice and it does not show in grub. How do I get Centos as an option?

Machine is booted into Grub Menu
I am using rescue linux

by doing fdisk -l

it shows
Disk /dev/sda : bla bla bla
Device Boot
/dev/sda1 *

so i install grub using this command in shell

grub-install /dev/sda1

it shows

installation finished. No error reported
This content of the device map /boot/grub/device.map


After re-boot it again shows grub menu

After creating a bootable usb using Universal USB Installer. I booted up the sytstem (Dell Inspiron N4110) F12 boot on usb, did the install, everything went well until after copying files and then the error message that "The grub-pc package failed to install into /target.. So i continued without a boot loader and now am trying to figure out how to get it back.
Previously i did a perfect dual boot of Kali Linux wherein the Grub boot loader was present. I did however uninstall Kali, reclaim HDD space, and even use EasyBCD to remove Grub(i believe).
Also worth noting is that before this dual boot with pignuy and after uninstalling kali linux i did a complete reinstallation of my windows 7 system using the recovery HD.

Now i would like to know how i could get grub boot loader back onto my system so that i can boot up Pinguy OS. Thanks

Hi All,

I recently decided to tryout Linux and dual booted my laptop (originally just had windows 8) with Xubuntu. Now I want to try out Kali Linux. So I downloaded Kali and made a bootable USB, the problem is that when I try to boot from the USB it just brings up the grub menu asking me to select Xubuntu, Windows etc. I've changed the boot menu in the BIOS but that has no effect.

I've tried booting into windows and the restarting by holding shift but when I select the usb option it just says:

"system doesn't have any USB boot option. Please select other boot option in Boot Manager Menu"

and then returns to the grub menu. I don't understand because I used a bootable usb to install xubunto?

I'd be really grateful if anyone can help me out with this!

Thanks

Hello

I have installed a CentOS 6.4 on VmWare.

Now, after several days of using it, it suddenly does not boots. There is a problem with its initialization, here is the error:

Kernel Panic : Unalble to init. Try passing init= option to the kernel.
Pid 1 : Swapper not tainted.

I have used CentOS.iso to rescue it, but it still does not solve it.

My grub.conf contains:

PHP Code:

How should I solve it then? Thanks in advance
