This is really getting annoying.
To get closer to the solution, you could change /var/log into a "permanent" (other than volatile) directory and direct the syslog into a file so that you have the files across reboots. Otoh you have to check other logfiles as they will grow until your fs is full. cd /var ; rm -f log ; mkdir log Modify /etc/syslog.conf, change some lines to these: DESTINATION="file" # log destinations (buffer file remote) LOGFILE=/var/log/messages # file: where to log ROTATESIZE=512 # file: rotate log if grown beyond X [kByte] (busybox 1.2+) ROTATEGENS=5 # file: keep X generations of rotated logs (busybox 1.2+) Then "killall -HUP syslogd". You will see a file "/var/log/messages". Let it shutdown and look into messages after a new boot. _______________________________________________ support mailing list support@lists.openmoko.org https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
