How do I retrieve the messages that I see when booting?
dmesg does not have all the information.
I'm using kernel 2.6.13.2
Thanks



enable /etc/default/bootlogd:


$ cat /etc/default/bootlogd
# Run bootlogd at startup ?
BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes



I did the above, rebooted and can't find thelog anywhere.
Could you tell me where it should be and what its name is?


look at 'man bootlogd' (hint: 'man -k boot' gives all man pages about 'boot')

hint 2: most logs are in /var/log



Here's what I tried - still need help
Thanks

[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dev$ /sbin/bootlogd -l /var/log/boot.
bootlogd: cannot find console device 136:1 in /dev

The above line points to not finding console, but one can see that it is there from below



no idea why you're trying the above


[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dev$ ls c*
cdrom  cdrw  console  core

cpu:
0  microcode




[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dev$ cat /etc/default/bootlogd
# Run bootlogd at startup ?
BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/dev$


but what does
 ls -l /var/log/boot
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /var/log/boot
ls: /var/log/boot: No such file or directory
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:

give you?!
