actually rc.sysinit resets console log level to 3 (ERR) by default which means that only critical errors are logged. Check /etc/sysconfig/init. So there is nothing strange you do not see anything after that point. The reason it works after syslog is stopped should be that _something_ resets console log level to higher value. Quick strace on syslog/klogd do not show anything but I am not expert here. Nor do I use syslog - I use syslog-ng. Just try dmesg -n7 and check if you now get output. It would be nice to have different levels for each console OTOH it may not worth the troubles. -andrey
