I see stuff in syslog and in boot and yet I can't see the relevant stuff
which I see scroll past when I'm booting.
There's no 'boot' facility/priority in the syslog.conf, so how is it
controlled?
You can set
BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes
in /etc/default/bootlogd. This should catch all output on the console
during most of the boot process and put it in a log file in /var/log.
For the earliest part of the boot process you would need to set up
logging to a serial console and use a second computer to record that.
However, sometimes the ScrollLock key is good enough to allow you to
read the stuff that is scrolling by.
Scroll lock works? I never thought I could stop Linux with the scroll
lock key.
My /var/logs/boot file contains a fair amount of stuff, but with scroll
lock I should be able to pick up the most interesting stuff.
OK just did that and now that I can actually read it, it's all fine,
there's no problem at all.
I can see where the bootlogger kicks in as well.
Thanks anyway,
Adam
