Maybe thats > worth a try. Very good tip, although I think "quiet" should not be interfering at all (it only makes the kernel logging be less verbose) this is worth for trying, of course, hold on... Okay, it seems hanging again with different text lines but booting is stopped: *** Booting a command list Loading Linux 3.0.0-1-686-pae ... Loading initial ramdisk ... Decompressing Linux... Parsing ELF... done. Booting the kernel. *** And here stays forever. (seven minutes later) Mmm, wait, wait... it is loading now, slowly -for the kernel messages part as it has to be- but it loads. Hey, thanks much! That could mean that the "quiet" part is just preventing me to see the kernel messages despite the system is indeed booting and it stays with the black screen until it finishes the kernel logging... let's try it now with "quiet boot_delay=1000": (boot started at 22:51) (22:57 → black screen) (23:03 → black screen) (23:11 → non-kernel messages start appearing) Mmm, perfect. So "quiet" and "boot_delay" cannot be (now, since always? :-?) put together as they seem to override each other somehow.
