No. It overflows the screen, and also lacks the timestamps of boot.log that I use to narrow down points of interest. Where does its output come from?
dmesg | less
No idea where the output comes from, possibly it's a specially formatted version of boot.msg, but I really don't know.
Dmesg doesn't tell me anything about when the messages were generated, so is of marginal help. Redirected dmesg output to a file is equally unhelpful.
The /var/log/boot.msg file contains no timestamp, the same as dmesg, and that's how it is. If it overflows, use a pipe to less, as Scott told you (not to a file). Standard unix/linux, you know... -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson
