Feature added by: Michal Suchanek (michals) Feature #321753, revision 1 Title: working dmesg in installer Requested by: Michal Suchanek (michals) Partner organization: openSUSE.org Description: In the installer dmesg buffer is empty. This is different from every Linux and BSD distribution I tried so far, even installers. In order to not alienate people who are not running SUSE from the very start the kernel messages should be left in said buffer for everyone to look at when needed. Supposedly there are these messages on virtual terminal 4 and /var/log/boot.msg Virtual terminal 4 is not accessible when installing - over ssh - over serial console - over IPMI which are probably scenarios for which SUSE should care more than most distributions out there given the focus on server. /var/log/boot.msg is either misnamed or it contains only the kernel messages from system startup and not messages which result from inserting a device for example. -- openSUSE Feature: https://features.opensuse.org/321753
