I have 8.2 installed on 2 systems. This file is dated 26 Sep 2003 and 0 bytes on both. Isn't this file supposed to be a mirror of the messages that flash on screen during boot? How do I enable saving boot messages to this file? On my Mandrake systems this is apparently enabled by default.
On my 8.2 systems there is no /var/log/boot.log file at all; maybe I have wiped it from the disks long ago, I don't remember. The boot messages are in /var/log/boot.msg.
My purpose is a diagnostic exercise. SuSE 8.2 & Mandrake 10.2 are both installed on the same system. SuSE boots. Mandrake doesn't. I need to figure out why. /var/log/boot.log on Mandrake looks like this: http://qa.mandrakesoft.com/attachment.cgi?id=2851 SuSE's /var/log/boot.msg, which has no Mandrake counterpart, bears little resemblance to Mandrake's /var/log/boot.log, and has no value for this diagnostic exercise. I need to get SuSE to generate a similar file to do me any good. -- "In everything, do to others what you would have them do to you." Matthew 7:12 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
