How display status messages when booting Rocky Linux 9.4?

[lhouk]

I like to see the status messages when booting a system. On systems running Rocky Linux 8, I was able to see them by editing /etc/default/grub and removing the “rhgb” option, then running

grub2-mkconfig --output=/boot/grub2/grub.cfg

However, after installing Rocky Linux 9.4, this no longer works. Is there a new procedure to configure a Rocky Linux 9 system so that it displays status messages when booting? I saw this thread: https://forums.rockylinux.org/t/how-to-display-boot-messages-on-console/12448, but it doesn’t look like a solution was found. All suggestions are appreciated.

You also want to remove the option quiet if present and than run sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg --update-bls-cmdline

You can refer to the following:

hs303, thank you for your prompt response. I tried your instructions, and found that it wasn’t necessary to remove the “quiet” option in /etc/default/grub to make the system display the boot messages I wanted. What I was missing was the “--update-bls-cmdline” option to the grub2-mkconfig command; adding it gave me exactly what I wanted when I rebooted. Thank you again!
