(rummages for a disaster disk) The redirection apparently fails because the root filesystem is mounted readonly, and thish screws up the rest of the system startup. If this can be made to work, I was thinking that "| tail -a /var/log/boot" might be better than the simple redirection. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Acknowledgement sent to mitchell@mdd.comm.mot.com (Bill Mitchell) : Extra info received and forwarded.

BTW the major things that appear on the console but not in the messages log is the output from the boot script and run-parts. What do I do to get these messages into a file somewhere? I recommend that (unless there's some simple way to get syslog to recognize these messages), the si: entry in /etc/inittab be changed to read: si::sysinit:/etc/init.d/boot >>/var/log/boot [I think that all log files in /var/log/ are automatically rotated?] -- Raul ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Acknowledgement sent to Raul Miller : New bug report received and forwarded.
