Hi everyone,
dmesg is an invaluable source of information about the system however oftentimes it's the only source of information and it gets really hard to extract information from it.
It would be great if someone coded the following feature: a printout of system configuration before the kernel runs /sbin/init, e.g. something like this:
======= Detected hardware configuration ======= Arch: x86-64, EFI, Secure boot enabled CPU: Intel/AMD Something; X cores/Y threads GPU: AMD/Intel/NVIDIA VEN_ID/DEV_ID, VRAM MB RAM: 32614128K/33414620K available, ECC enabled Motherboard: Vendor, Model, BIOS revision Console: i915drmfb, 1024x768@24bit ===============================================
Some (all?) of this information is already there but it's hard to find and read.
Thanks a ton, Artem
