Description of problem: When booting fails early on (before "stage2") no error message is displayed with "quiet". So boot just appears to hang. It would be nice to display some message to users, as seen without "quite rhgb", rather than just to hang silently.
What installation method are you using to get the 'quiet rhgb' parameters? Are those present by default or do you add them manually (in which case I don't think we can help you).
This is either due to the kernel or systemd, since anaconda is not yet involved. Let's start at the higher layers and work our way down.
Hmm? can you say which error message precisely you expect to be visible that currently isn't visible? Only if we know which component logs it we can ensure that it makes it to the screen?
(In reply to comment #1) > What installation method are you using to get the 'quiet rhgb' parameters? I think Live images use 'quiet rhgb' by default. Definitely nothing to do with systemd... I guess I filed under anaconda in the hope that something could be done on the installer side for this maybe LiveCD would have been more appropriate. I suppose the error in my example would be from the kernel. I guess it would be nice if there was a timeout for quiet: say after 10s show some error output but maybe difficult to do. Moving this needle into the kernel bug haystack. :)
what message isn't getting displayed ?
