Re: Is there a complete log to the bootup messages?

Hello Hugo,

That's interesting; I'll have to remember to add YMMV in future. I think the Ctrl-s and Ctrl-q bit might be in Paul Sheer's RUTE User's Tutorial and Exposition, but I'm not sure. I first saw it in a post on this list, from, I think, Colin Watson. The shift-Pgup bit might perhaps be from trial and error; I just know it works for me and assumed it probably would for others. Did you try Ctrl-Pgup as well? That sometimes works in consoles, if I remember right. Even Pgup on its own might be worth trying.

FWIW I'm using Woody, with a 2.4.18-1-k6 kernel.

Cheers

Hi Geoff,

Ctrl-s and Ctrl-q always work when init is going, i.e. not when the kernel is still booting. Ctrl-s turns on scroll lock, Ctrl-q turns it off. Neat to know.
Ctrl/Shift-Pgup/down don't work at all.
This could be because I use Backstreet Ruby(+Sarge), multi-seat Linux, which modified console ops to accomodate up to 16 separate keyboards for individual users. It also is the reason I have no PC speaker and use NAS instead. Thanks!

Hugo
