[Bug 555615] New: boot.msg does not contain to whole boot process anymore
http://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=555615 Summary: boot.msg does not contain to whole boot process anymore Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.2 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: sven.burmeister@gmx.net QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- --- Comment #0 from Sven Burmeister <sven.burmeister@gmx.net> 2009-11-15 10:20:15 UTC --- Created an attachment (id=327585) too short boot.msg User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; de; rv:1.9.1.4) Gecko/20091016 SUSE/3.5.4-1.1.2 Firefox/3.5.4 I reported some bug and submitted the boot.msg which at that point contained everything the boot process shows on terminal one. Now I wanted to check that bug again and noticed that boot.msg is a lot shorter, i.e. stops after mounting the harddisk partitions and does not contain anything from the area where e.g. HAL is started.

OK it does speed up the boot process but as seen by this bug report it makes debugging more difficulty -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Anyway, if Sven wants to debug something, he needs to remove quiet from the command line then. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

This requires some resources. Now if you use ``quiet'' and/or ``fastboot'' in the kernels command line then in /etc/init.d/boot and /etc/init.d/rc the blogd is not started to not to use this resources. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
