plymouth is a no-go as requirement
"rd.plymouth=0 plymouth.enable=0" are my first kernel params on a lot
of machines
[root@srv-rhsoft:~]$ cat /etc/dracut.conf.d/90-plymouth.conf
omit_dracutmodules+="plymouth"
is present on ANY machine i maintain
the only thing i want on a machine is:
* no graphical stuff at boot time, not any of it
* no submenus in the boot-menu
* the kernel list dispalyed for 1 second
* no rhgb
* no quiet
why?
because i want to see what me system does if i look how it
boots up within 15 seconds and i want to face ANY possible
warning nobody cares especially after a upgrade
