Hello, list. I am trying to find a way to track boot messages. I know about things like
dmesg|less and less /var/log/syslog but they don't cover everything. For example, /etc/init.d/console-setup issues a message during boot that goes something like this: Setting up console font and keymap and this does not appear in either dmesg output or in /var/log/syslog. Furthermore, it appears that the font change done by console-setup kills my scrollback; so that Shift+PageUp and Shift+PageDown don't work. That is, I can't scroll back prior to the font change. On some hardware platforms, such as s390, when running in a virtual machine under z/VM, I can capture the console boot messages by "spooling the virtual console". But on other platforms, such as i386, I do not know of a way to capture all the boot messages. Does anybody know of a way? (I am running Debian Squeeze.) -- .''`.
