Thanks to all for the replies. It seems my filesystem isn't coming up as there is no evidence of the boot anywhere under /var/log. Guess I'll need to have the NOC console in. I did find an old thread on the Linux Kernel list that discusses the subject: http://www.linuxhq.com/lnxlists/linux-kernel/lk_9905_01/index.html#00404 The only implementation I found was: http://w.ods.org/tools/kmsgdump/ But that requires a floppy, which my server doesn't have. ~Ian -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
