Howdy, I just installed a new video card. After a couple weeks of USPS dragging it around, it finally came in. Anyway, I got it installed and was booting up. I noticed somewhere between the kernel part and it going through the runlevel part, there was something that failed. I saw a little red colored text and the word failed but I found one bad thing about a really fast CPU. It scrolls by so fast, I can't tell what it is. It is almost a blur when it scrolls up. It's not a service because rc-status shows all green. I'm not sure that lists everything tho since it seems a little light on the number of services.
At some point way back, I recall there being a logger that picks up the area between when dmesg is logging and when syslog or friends start logging to the message file. I think this is where the error is. I can't find tool now. I also can't find anything else in /var/log either. Am I wrong on having this or did it die off in the tree and got removed? If so, is there something that picks up that area of the boot up process as far as errors go? My system seems to work fine but I'd like to know what that error was. It may cause a problem at some point and could even be the problem with that random reboot I had in another thread. Thanks. Dale :-) :-) P. S. I did reseat all the power cables to the mobo while I was swapping video cards. Hoping that may help with that weird reboot thing I had going on. BTW, it hasn't happened since the one I started the thread about either. Weird.
