They should be identical. Just look at the code:
<http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git;a=blob;f=init/main.c;h=d7211faed2adfb295caf46bbb9c70835f622eabe;hb=HEAD#l201>.
The quiet parameter just sets loglevel=4. Unless I'm missing
something.

This is very odd. Any more info on this? Screenshots? Can you see a
difference in dmesg?

Cheers,
