Well I see:
[bobg@Box10 ~]$ ls /sys/firmware/efi
config_table efivars esrt fw_platform_size fw_vendor runtime
runtime-map systab
And examining that file I see "rhgb quiet" in it. Can I edit that out of
there? Is there a special procedure to make the change?
Or is what I wanted to do just not worth the effort? It's really nit
picking as long as things work, but if something goes wrong and slows
the boot process I feel better seeing what's going on ...
I have a vague recollection there was something in the MSI setup about
uefi, maybe I need to have another look at that? Hate to risk hosing a
working system!
So, yes, you're using UEFI to boot. All you need to do is edit the
/boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg file and remove the "rhgb quiet" bit and
reboot. You should be fine.
Note that on your next kernel upgrade, however, the "rhgb quiet" will
reappear unless you edit the /etc/default/grub file and those bits from
the "GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX" variable in there as well.
