Plymouth is not a mandatory boot process element right now, precisely
because people who cared about fast boot found it unnecessary, and people
who cared about maintainability also found it got in the way. Please do
not advocate hardwiring it again
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
