I found that gave too much information, and a better balance is given by GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="systemd.show_status=true quiet" If you're interested in perusing them, you can also: $ cat /etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service.d/noclear.conf # /etc/systemd/system/getty@tty1.service.d/noclear.conf last edited 2015-04-26 # https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Disable_clearing_of_boot_messages [Service] TTYVTDisallocate=no # $ BTW, about the timeouts, there are lines like DefaultTimeoutStartSec=90s DefaultTimeoutStopSec=90s which can be edited in etc/systemd/system.conf. The defaults might be ok for systems with lot of network stuff to start or stop, but the stop timeouts in particular can be ridiculous, especially when they keep expiring but adding more time.
