home user: > I'm highly confident that 0111 was gray. I don't know/recall what > 1000 was used for. If you were in 8 colour mode, then 000 to 111 were black to white, at full intensity. If you were in 16 colour mode, then 000 to 111 were the dim versions, and the fourth bit (MSB) made them brighter. You could have unexpected black text on black if you wrote your pages in 16 colours, but someone ran their terminal in 8 colour mode (which some people did because they found the dim colours too dim). Getting back to the boot messages, there's a couple of levels of verbosity. If you simply switch off the graphical boot screen (with just the progress bar), then you get to see what's going on. If you remove the quiet parameter from the boot kernel line, you get to see even more things fly by. You may see more info about what the system discovers about your hardware, that way. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
