I am sure there are no messages from starting services.

It's from harddisks (raid1). But the processor is fast.

I've tried:
1:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty --noclear 38400 tty1
And the screen is not cleared. But I see only messages from grub2, then
a few messages from the kernel starting with a number like in dmesg,
then the welcome message and a login prompt.
So no messages from starting services, like SSH.
