Put this in /etc/default/bootlogd: BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=yes Next time you boot, every msg sent to /dev/console will end up in /var/log/boot.Cool! Two things. 1) When I enable it and try to run it (under Ubuntu), I get * Starting Bootlog daemon... bootlogd: cannot find console device 136:0 in /dev Looks like this came up back in March on this list: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2005/03/msg03738.html See also http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2005/03/msg03789.html
I had this problem and it wasn't fixed by CONFIG_LEGACY_PTYS=y CONFIG_LEGACY_PTY_COUNT=256 its related to bug #307977 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=30797I ended up creating a link from /etc/init.d/mountvirtfs to /etc/init.d/udev-bootlogdfix and then linking /etc/rcS.d/S04udev-bootlogdfix to /etc/init.d/udev-bootlogdfix. This script will run after udev and before bootlogd and will remount /dev/pts so bootlogd can run normally.
Has nobody else had this problem. I thought my bootlogd was working until I installed and new kernel and rebooted and want to check the boot messages and released my last boot message was on Apr 6th.
