See the previous replies but remember to put "3" into a
boot line
instead of "rhgb quiet".
To be clear, as I alluded to in my previous replies, none of my (100+) OS
installations has rhgb or quiet on any kernel line in any stanza I ever use,
while nearly every kernel line among Grub stanzas contains a 3. I detest
obfuscatory GUI startup. I read every word you wrote, and asked again only
because I have no idea why it never shows up, other than maybe it's that
illegible blue text I do notice, or it's getting lost among the screen
clearing that occurs more than once during each boot. Should I just hold down
the I key as soon as anything shows up on screen? If not, what landmarks
among messages should I wait for? I tried random times, but I get either
nothing at all, or just streams of iiiiiiii or IIIIIIII.
