I want to be able to see all stuff from the boot process, just like in Debian.

I instaled startupmanager but It only change boot screen to more ugly.

I search google and find that you must remove "quiet" from /boot/grub/menu.lst but I don't have that file on my system.

Do you know if you are using the old grub or the new one? – Stefan Sep 16 '10 at 16:19

It sounds like you are using Grub 2. I haven't tried it, but acording to this article. You will need to change /etc/default/grub, so that the line :

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"

becomes:

GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""

in other words, remove quiet and splash from the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT variable.

update: from jcubic's comment:

also remove splash and vga=769 from the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX variable.
