Also, what happened to my boot logging? dmesg doesn't contain it, and in my /etc/init.d dir, I see a stop_bootlogd script. Is this what's stopping my boot logging? Or could it be configured to log it somewhere other than /var/log?You need to start bootlogd service to see you bootlog. The easiest way is toinstall 'sysvconfig' and start bootlogd service.
OK, so I did that now I'm still looking at the stop_bootlogd script in /etc/init.d
Shall I just get rid of it? I can't figure out why it's there. The only info on it I can find in the top of the script is self-referential and tells me nothing that I can understand.
