Finally ran the net installer in rescue mode, copied my 122gb /home dir, on a 1.9T raid10 to a different drive and reinstalled, then copied it back, but kmail refuses to use the copied back data so I'm using FF to post this.

Typing /stop in my MUA shows that the line immediately above this one
contains the first occurrence of the word "stop" in this post.

Add the string   systemd.show_status=true



Added to the default grub.cfg profile, thank you


Removing   quiet   might get just too verbose, because I believe
you can no longer scroll back like in the olden days.



What I have reported was without the quiet argument, which I should have noted.

Cheers,

Cheers Gene.
