Re: Messages between dmesg and login

2004-12-10 Thread Jerry McAllister
 
 Hello!
 
 I just couldn't find it, where can I get those
 messages, which come during the boot sequence
 just after white text (kernel) and before login: 
 prompt. Are they even saved somewhere? I know
 that errors are written to /var/log/messages,
 but I need the exact dump of those messages.
 Should I hack into rc?

Do you mean what is in:
/var/log/dmesg.today
and /var/log/dmesg.yesterday
???

jerry

 
 Best wishes,
 Andrew

 Or perhaps he's looking for what's in /var/run/dmesg.boot?

No, dmesg contains kernel messages. I want to review
messages produced by rc(8) at startup. Where/how can
I get them, please?

They should be in /var/log/console.

hello andrew,

'dmesg -a' will get you that, as well as all console messages since
boot.  ...you may want to run it through a pager.   ;)


cheers,
epi

Thank you guys! I knew about dmesg -a, but it
slipped my mind somehow...
And now I went to /etc/syslog.conf, uncommented
console.info /var/log/console.log, touched
console.log, chmodded it to 600, rebooted and
console is being constantly dumped.

So both your suggestions worked, thanx!

Best wishes,
Andrew
