FC4 Boot Log

[Rob Kettle]

Hi,

I do indeed refer to /var/log/boot.log

Prior to upgrading to FC4 from FC3 all my startup and shutdown messages
appeared so it was easy to see where problems had occured. Now nothing
appear sat all.

I have read somewhere that boot.log messages have been removed to be
replaced by something 'better'. This is not very helpful right now and
there is no indication of when the 'something better' is coming along.

Is there anyway to get these messages working again or am I stuck until
Redhat release the 'something better' ?

Thanks
Rob

I believe the reference is to /var/log/boot.log - I have four -  
boot.log boot.log.1 boot.log.2 and boot.log.3 - My last messages are 
from June 17th and June 19th in all four logs. The boot.log and 
boot.log.3 are empty.  Boot.log.1 has a few messages from the 19th and

boot.log.2 from the 17th.
