Public bug reported: Until Edgy, the quiet option given to the vmlinuz kernel in /boot/grub/menu.lst would output a minimal number of messages while booting (i.e. when splash is not on). We used to see only the mounting of the filesystems and a few other messages. Now in Feisty, the kernel no longer heeds the quiet option, it seems. All the messages: starting this daemon, starting that daemon get displayed even when using quiet, which is pretty annoying. I am using the standard un-updated kernel that comes with Kubuntu Feisty CD.
