Hello all,

I've been wondering for quite some time now if messages during boot is logged anywhere else than in dmesg? Only parts of what you can see during boot makes it into /var/run/dmesg.boot and it would be great if one could review any errors after logon.

Cheers,

Andreas

Check also dmesg -a | less to see boot-time chatter from rc scripts.

Also check out these lines in /etc/syslog.conf:

# uncomment this to log all writes to /dev/console to /var/log/console.log
#console.info /var/log/console.log
