I'm not sure that there is any issue here. These are kernel logs and get
logged to /var/log/dmesg, and kern.log, and also get included in syslog.

/var/log/boot doesn't log everything that appears on the screen; and
kernel logs may or may not be displayed depending on their severity and
on system settings, which is also a reason to keep them separate.

Bug#706349: bootlogd: some messages which are visible at booting are not saved in boot log file.

[war_dhan]

Package: bootlogd
Version: 2.88dsf-41
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
*** Please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation?
the following 2 messages are always visible/displaying/appear when the system
is booting:

[8.364387] [drm:radeon_pci_probe] *ERROR* radeon kernel modesetting for
R600 or later requires firmware-linux-nonfree.
[   25.481480] r8169 :06:00.0: firmware: agent aborted loading
rtl_nic/rtl8105e-1.fw (not found?)

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)?
   * What was the outcome of this action?
   * What outcome did you expect instead?
i assumed that both messages are saved in /var/log/boot file.
but both messages are not saved in boot file.

i have attached both syslog  boot logs.

please look into the issue.

thank you.
