I am sure there are no messages from starting services. > They should be visible for some time, although > that period can be rather short if you boot from an SSD. It's from harddisks (raid1).

But I see only messages from grub2, then a few messages from the kernel starting with a number like in dmesg, then the welcome message and a login prompt. So no messages from starting services, like SSH.
