Hi,
I did some tests with FC6 without XEN support.
Here Fedoras FC6 boot configuration (without XEN support)
title Fedora Core (2.6.18-1.2849.fc6)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18-1.2849.fc6.img
- 'ro option:'
this option seems to be optional. I was unable to find out what it is affected.
- 'root=LABEL=/ '
This option seems to be required. I was unable to identify what is affected.
-'rhgb' option
I guess this means 'Red Hat Background'. When this option is activated with
FC6, then FC6 showed blue background during boot., instead of the boot messages
after initial boot phase.
On FC6 with XEN support, this message did not seem to have any effect.
- quiet option
This message seems to restrict the messages during intial boot phase (the phase
before the blue background would start) to the more important messages. With
the option 'quiet' to output might be e.g. 10 lines, while without it is about
60 lines of text.
On FC6 with XEN support, this message did not seem to have any effect.
Br,
Michael
