Boot single. Then run your init scripts one-at-a-time, by hand. See /etc/init.d/README or Brenda's recent post here for instructions / descriptions of sysv init. The remaining messages that aren't captured are the kernel and device output (e.g.: SCSI initalization) which aren't captured to either dmesg or output by sysv scripts. -- Karsten M.
