Unfortunately my logs don't go back far enough to see what was changed
when the problem first started. This PC is nearly 10 years old and its
config hasn't been changed since the problem first started, so I think I
should be able to rule out a hardware related issue.
I have now had a look at /etc/rc2.d and see that bootlogd isn't started
by sysvinit-utils and only 'S20stop-bootlogd' is linked which stops
bootlogd at boot completion.
If I add a link to bootlogd with 'S07bootlogd' it mysteriously gets
changed to 'S04bootlogd' after startup and I then see the 'Starting
Bootlogd - Bootlog failed' error messages in the console at startup.
My guess is that a process other than sysvinit is supposed to start the
bootlogger. I still use lilo as a boot loader and I presume that your
Wheezy starts with grub, so I wonder if this a lilo/grub issue?
