Just a minor aside: At various times on various OS's I've hit situations where messages go by too fast at boot-up. It finally occurred to me that I could use some of the alternate video-recording modes on my iPhone to record the screen during the entire boot-up process, and then rewatch the boot-up process in slow motion. This trick has helped me solve a few problems that none of us at work were able to fix, because none of our eyes are fast enough to read all of those boot-up messages as they fly by. And before this, none of us had thought to take out our modern-technology cell phones to record messages on the very ancient-technology of "serial console" messages written to a the screen of a monitor. -- garance [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/xhtml; charset=utf-8"> </head> <body><div style="font-family: sans-serif;"><div class="markdown" style="white-space: normal;"> <p dir="auto">On 22 Sep 2024, at 20:20, Kevin Oberman wrote:</p> </div><div class="plaintext" style="white-space: normal;"><blockquote style="margin: 0 0 5px; padding-left: 5px; border-left: 2px solid #777777; color: #777777;"><p dir="auto">Since an update to current a couple of weeks ago, I now see several lines <br> (6 or 7) early in the boot.
