At the time of initial boot there is no disk mounted, so there is no convenient place to dump the output. There is another way to record the boot messages: the serial port.
I like your serial port method. How about the screen buffer? Apparently the screen buffer holds all the boot messages, since I can scroll back with <control-pageup>. The buffer contents are still there at the login prompt, so how would you just dump the scrollback buffer to a file?
Make sense or am I missing some point?
In some instances all the boot messages will be lost: if you switch consoles, including booting all the way graphics mode; when you load a different console font; sometimes the messages are too may, the buffers is overrun.
If all the messages are available in your console (by Shift PgUp/PgDown) and you have loaded gpm, then just copy and paste (I haven't tried this, but I don't think it won't work.)

Nobody has answered my original question. Is there a way to temporarily suspend the boot up process? -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/support/faq
