Bug#600959: boot warnings too fast to read and not saved in any file nor dmesg
> "BH" == Ben Hutchings writes: BH> This looks the same as #561764, reported by... you. I see. Anyways here's a little discovery I made. If it is not technologically possible to put such messages in files like dmesg, then at least they could be left on the screen: On one of my computers, the desktop with the detached terminal, the messages are still visible with ShiftPgUp. (In contrast to the laptops, where the farthest as ShiftPgUp reaches is the swap message. I.e., the first few items from /sbin/init to before /etc/rcS.d/S08checkroot.sh are not in any logs nor left on the console still.) Using a pencil from the desktop, I see they were roughly: INIT: version 2.88 starting Using Makefile ... runlevels Starting hotplug... Synthesizing hotplug... Waiting for /dev ... fully pop... And then the swap message, which is the first to be left on the top of other consoles too. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Bug#600959: boot warnings too fast to read and not saved in any file nor dmesg
X-debbugs-Cc: linux-ker...@vger.kernel.org Package: linux-2.6 Version: 2.6.32-26 I'm quite distressed that again I am seeing warnings at boot that fly off the screen and cannot be found in any log files. I believe the message was similar to udevd[263]: GOTO 'acl_end' has no matching label in: '/lib/udev/rules.d/70-acl.rules' But that is not important. What is important is that it is not saved in dmesg, or anywhere else. How can an administrator deal with warnings that fly past too fast and are not even in the record that one can ShiftPgUp to on the console, as that gets truncated during some kind of screen reset upon boot. You might think that the messages were saved in /var/log/boot, however the top of that starts only at "Activating swap...done" One might think that running "Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (recovery mode)" might show more, but same problem: boot messages truncated... can't see them in any file. And with recovery mode, one will not notice any problem, as there are too many messages to be able to notice the error messages anyway.
