:( That one isn't installed (the machine is a server somewhere in a corner...) Indeed the first message in the boot.logs is [ OK ] Started Show Plymouth Boot Screen.
Yep.
But you should be able to see those messages in the journal or syslog - although there is some problem in 15.2 where syslog doesn't. I have not studied why yet.
Journalctl doen't list those (for me, or am I missing some option switch?),
No, they should be there. journalctl -b should start the display at the boot of the current session. If the directory "/var/log/journal/" exists, then it will preserve previous sessions.
and there's no extra syslog, only the journalctl one.
Syslog has to be installed separately. I recommend "rsyslogd" -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.2 x86_64 at Telcontar)
