Aurora is a user space application that runs after init. Kernel loading runs before init and hence before Aurora. Aurora covers init's messages but not the kernel's messages. After turning off Aurora, I can now see init's messages, but still there is this welcome message in different languages that shows itself at the start of kernel loading instead of the familiar line by line text message from the kernel.
There seems to be something else that runs during kernel boot that causes this blue screen graphic full of foreign language greetings to cover the kernel's messages. Is this blue graphic part of the Mandrake supplied kernel??
