It would be great to have a way to suppress all messages from grub. (see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/FeatureBetterStartup ) I'll attach the Ubuntu patch for this purpose. It seems buggy though, since it initializes quiet_boot to 1 and has no way to reset it it 0. The initial value should probably be 0, then we can turn on the feature by putting "quiet" in the config file.

Also, it seems to add a print statement: + grub_printf("Starting up ...\n");

So, what's the problem?
Based on the date this bug was created, it appears to have been reported against rawhide during the development of a Fedora release that is no longer maintained. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained. If this bug remains in NEEDINFO thirty (30) days from now, we will automatically close it. If you can reproduce this bug in a maintained Fedora version (7, 8, or rawhide), please change this bug to the respective version and change the status to ASSIGNED. (If you're unable to change the bug's version or status, add a comment to the bug and someone will change it for you.) Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we're following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
We're clear to close this one out now, yea, Peter? We need to adjust the default config I guess, still.
