4.4.23-v7+ console redirect

[gitbf]

I've been using cmdline.txt with a "console=tty3" entry to suppress console (HDMI video) output during boot (used in combination with an init.d fbi script to display a custom splash image). Now however, scrolling boot messages are displayed irrespective of this cmdline change.

Is this intentional, is there a workaround?

How have you updated to 4.4.23? Which was the last kernel version that worked as you want it to?

[gitbf]

Base is Raspbian Jessie Lite (May 2016)

apt-get update
apt-get dist-upgrade
rpi-update

No record of last working kernel (my guess is the change came with the most recent full release, 2016-9-23).

@gitbf has this been resolved?

[gitbf]

No - console redirection is no longer a viable method towards a clean boot (now using kernel 4.4.38). This in itself is not so much of an issue for me, but some way to configure for a clean boot (no console boot messages displayed whatsoever) is desired.

Disabling console login and adding cmdline options "quiet splash vt.global_cursor_default=0 loglevel=3" is close as this will remove everything except output from "systemd-fsck".

.

Can these messages be suppressed as well?

Can these messages be suppressed as well?

Not by the kernel. This is being added after kernel has booted.

May be some ideas here:

Closing due to lack of activity. Reopen if you feel this issue is still relevant.
