No, that file is not created. If it exists, is a copy done by plymouth, if I recall correctly.
in former times there was a file /var/log/messages with the messages of the running system. this file doesn't exist any more and therefore yast->Miscellaneous->SystemLog can't report nothing.
No, you have to read the systemd journal instead, if it booted that far. The messages file can exist if you install a syslog daemon, which you can not, as you can't login. You have to try boot to text mode as Patrick describes. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))
