My curiosity is getting the better of me. What type of device are you creating that you're trying to remove all references to it running Linux?

Hi,
Let me tell you what i have done in detail.
I burned dsl-3.1.iso on the CD.
I booted using that CD.

mkdir newcd
mkdir newcd/KNOPPIX
sudo su
cp -Rp /KNOPPIX/* source/.
vi source/boot/grub/menu.lst

There i added kernel console=/dev/null CONSOLE=/dev/null
at the end.
mkisofs -R source/ | create_compressed_fs - 65536 > newcd/KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX

Now instead of creating and burning the new image. I just downloaded the dsl-3.1.embedded.zip which is the embedded DSL.
I replaced /KNOPPIX/KNOPPIX file with the new one created using above procedure.

Clicked on dsl-windows.bat which is used to start the embedded dsl.

But still i am getting the boot messages. I want no boot message to come.
Can u help me regarding this?

Thanks in advance.

aptenikhil: if you are using the default qemu setup in dsl-embedded, you will not be using grub. Edit dsl-windows.bat and add in the parameters there.

Hi ^thehatsrule,
Thanks for the reply.
You know what r my requirements. I want to get rid of all boot messages when booting from a CD (burned using dsl image) and when booting using embedded DSL also.
I tried using

kernel console=/dev/null CONSOLE=/dev/null
at the start of dsl-embedded.bat right after @echo off but before START qemu\qemu.exe.... but it doesn't disable boot messages.
2nd thing which i tried is that I placed the kernel console=/dev/null CONSOLE=/dev/null right after START qemu\qemu.exe.... , but this also couldnt solve the problem,

Can u please tell me where to place it.

The dsl-windows.bat file contents are-
REM Start qemu on windows.
@ECHO OFF

START qemu\qemu.exe -L qemu/ -no-kqemu -m 128 -soundhw sb16 -localtime -kernel linux24 -initrd minirt24.gz -hda KNOPPIX/knoppix -hdb qemu/harddisk -append "qemu sb=0x220,5,1,5 frugal quiet modules=hdb noscsi nousb nofirewire atapicd noideraid noacpi acpi=off noapm noagp ide1=noprobe ide2=noprobe nomce"

CLS
EXIT

I am using dsl embedded verson 3.1 i.e. dsl-3.1-embedded.zip

Can you please help me regarding this.
Thanks in advance!
