Latest OSMC for PI1 shows all messages while booting

Why’s that?
OSMC and LE use the same version of GCC after December, so clock for clock, performance will be identical.

Please don’t spread bullshit.

Latest version of OSMC for Pi1 is still very “talkative” - have you tested?
And ok, regarding LibreElec, I believe it’s better for an old Pi1 - wrong of me to assert that it’s better for an old Pi1.

Try removing splash and adding nosplash.

We haven’t changed anything that would have caused this, it looks like Plymouth in Raspbian Stretch is triggering the display of console messages for some reason. As we don’t use the Raspbian version of plymouth it can be disabled by adding nosplash on the kernel command line.

It probably doesn’t show up on devices other than the Pi 1 because Kodi will appear and take control of the screen before the messages are disabled on everything but the slowest devices like the Pi 1, or the issue is there in Raspbian but not Debian.

We are testing a fix for this.

We might as well keep it disabled. Using a systemd drop-in is probably better than bloating up cmdline.

Fixed in this commit:

If you want to fix it yourself before next months update simply uninstall the plymouth package:

sudo apt-get remove plymouth
