Oops.  The machine I'm working on now does have a boot.log, my prior
ones didn't.

It doesn't have the entire boot log though (everything that you see as
the machine fires up).  It starts logging part way through.  The
various kernel messages are not there.  Many of the service ok/fail
starts are in there.

If I type in the "dmesg" command, that often starts off with the kind
of info I see as the machine boots up (pre boot.log file contents), and
ends with current kernel messages (such as info about recently plugged
in USB devices).

I appear to have a working /var/log/messages file, but don't recall
doing anything to wrest that back from the modern binary journal that's
supposed to replace it.

There is no point trying to privately email me, I only get to see

Windows, it's enough to make a grown man cry!
