I want to see the Linux at Boot.

[dkchandler]

Is there a way to stop the splash screen from coming up, so I can see all the Linux commands loading???? (At Boot)

Thanks,

DC

I think they want to see the bootup sequence....You can see some of it if you fashion a serial console cable and connect to your PC's comm port - look through the Underground Forum on how to make one.

After the box is up, you can telnet to its IP address, or via the serial console, type this command: dmesg

You will see stuff like this:

ttyS00 at port 0xbc010000 (irq = 133) is a unknown
ttyS00 at iomem 0xb4100140 (irq = 81) is a 16550A
ttyS00 at iomem 0xb4100120 (irq = 80) is a 16550A

The boot data is directed out the console (serial port). if you could get a text2osd module up early enough, you could redirect the console to it, likely.

classicsat, thanks for the idea....
