@Ricky, Jim: My /var/log/messages.0 hasn't been modified for about a week. The 'messages' files are not rotated every boot, but once per week. Here's a listing of my /var/log/messages*
-rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 339444 2009-04-22 10:04 /var/log/messages -rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 207454 2009-04-16 05:13 /var/log/messages.0 -rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 198544 2009-04-09 01:28 /var/log/messages.1.gz -rw-r----- 1 syslog adm 11422 2009-04-02 13:15 /var/log/messages.2.gz As you can see from the following excerpt, all the messages in messages.0 are old: c...@svelte:~$ tail /var/log/messages.0 Apr 16 02:13:37 svelte -- MARK -- Apr 16 02:31:06 svelte kernel: [15466.089053] ACPI: EC: missing confirmations, switch off interrupt mode.

Status in Mactel Support: Confirmed Status in “linux-meta” source package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: As of Jaunty (Ubuntu 9.04) Alpha 5, with kernel 2.6.28-8-generic, the MacBook 5.1 will hang upon attempts to reboot (restart). The screen will go blank black, and the system will hang indefinitely. I suppose this is an improvement over Intrepid (Ubuntu 8.10), where the computer would both hang and make very loud beeping noises. :-) Still, I'm marking this as a bug since reboot is currently not possible. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~mactel-support More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
