I am using Arch Linux and want to disable console messages which are displayed when the kernel boots. I have tried the quiet and loglevel=2 options in /boot/grub/menu.1st as given below:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz26 root=/dev/disk/by-uuid/c6dbfcdc-fcd8-498e-9182-f3bddc4f05ff ro loglevel=2

However I am still seeing console messages at boot. I used grub-install after the changes.

Any ideas where I am going wrong?

Which log messages? from the kernel or the init scripts? The quiet option works for me to suppress messages from the kernel (only). – Keith Sep 5 '11 at 6:01

It sounds like you are attempting to do something like Ubuntu or the other distros in how they show a splash screen while booting rather than the normal console spew.

The following is a list of splash screens (arch wiki links) that you could use to do this.
