I did find a relevant line in my boot.msg file so my previous comment that nothing of interest is in the syslogs isn't correct -- but I'm not sure it's all that meaningful either. We'll have to wait until Byte tries Anders's suggestion to see if it solves his problem, but a simple "it works" sure won't be overly satisfying (not to me, at any rate -- but I'm a mathematician, not an engineer :-) ).
