I want to see the messages produced instead of the bar moving. How do I see the messages?

What about pressing F2 while at it.
Don't remember how to set it afterwards, cus I always disable it when installing
but if this can help you

If you want to remove it permanently you can either: remove splashy from your system, or edit lilo.conf and remove the "splash" from the "append" line (and run lilo of course).

Actually with splashy I believe you have to press on Escape (during the boot process)

Yes, splashy's verbose mode is broken, so you have to press [ESC] to kill splashy and see the console output.

I discovered the esc key. I will consider removing splashy. I am using legacy grub and I tried various nosplash and splash = quiet arguments on the kernel but it didn't work.
Can you tell me where the splash screen comes from? Is it in one of the init scripts? It seems to start part way into the kernel messages. Thanks for all the good information.

Look in rc.S and rc.M for the commands that launch splashy and update the progress bar. Splashy is launched as soon as rc.S is run, what you're seeing before that are only a few messages coming from the loading of the kernel. Can't have splashy running before those.
