Either got quiet missing or some of the patches add output that doesn't
respect quiet.

In the stock kernel the loading screen starts up immediately when the kernel starts loading, but using the custom kernel, some text is displayed before the loading screen starts up (the kernel finishes loading without problems). I'm trying to figure out the reason for this and if there's a way to fix it so that the user doesn't see this text. Could the reason be the order in which different parts of the kernel are loaded? If yes, how can I control which parts load first?
