Not seeing any with upstart.I see this too. Seems to be upstart quirk/bug. Can you file a bug report please?I'm not certain this is entirely bad behavior. I guess it depends on what upstart intends to accomplish. Fedora in general is (in my opinion) rightly moving in a direction of showing less technically informational messages (RHGB) that might confuse the less technically saavy users (or convertees).It's a fair bugger to debug problems though. I turn it off. U: My system won't boot HD: What messages do you see? U: None.Won't happen since RHGB automatically falls back to showing details the moment any daemon fails to start.
Kernel messages? Before RHGB starts?Slow boots? It's not happened to me in some years[1], but I recall 20 minutes and more when there was no functioning DNS or substitute. Sendmail in particular was notorious.
btw Is it intended behaviour that boot.log be empty? I was going to check to see what's in it, and all are empty - and it's less than an hour since I last rebooted.
[1] I've read of sendmail problems long since I stopped having them; I attribute most of the difference to my better networks than than, and my reluctance to use sendmail. However, ntpdate on Ubuntu Warty took ages when the network was down.
