Disabling console shutdown/reboot messages

[neocortex]

Hello!
There are few posts discussing how to disable console messages during shutdown and/or reboot. See for example threads: 1394353, or 174269.
I am using Fedora 15 64-bit on my ThinkPad laptop for a month or so. Recently, it started to briefly flash console messages during shutdown/reboot. That did not happen before. I wonder, why now? And, more importantly, how can I stop that?

Thanks in advance,
PM

PS: Wonder why I cannot include two links for the above treads? It denied me. I have long experience in Debian/Ubuntu distros, and forums there never complained for such things.

Hi

You probably could not include links as your new to the forum, so welcome on board

Cant tell you WHY you see them, but i can tell you that it doesnt matter, the 'blueish' screen on start/shutdown is just decoration so it looks nicer.

But how to 'disable' the flashing, meaing, how to keep the un-/-load screen on dont see the console message at all, no idea, sorry.
