Oops. The machine I'm working on now does have a boot.log, my prior ones didn't. It doesn't have the entire boot log though (everything that you see as the machine fires up). It starts logging part way through. The various kernel messages are not there. Many of the service ok/fail starts are in there. If I type in the "dmesg" command, that often starts off with the kind of info I see as the machine boots up (pre boot.log file contents), and ends with current kernel messages (such as info about recently plugged in USB devices). I appear to have a working /var/log/messages file, but don't recall doing anything to wrest that back from the modern binary journal that's supposed to replace it. -- [tim@localhost ~]$ uname -rsvp Linux 4.14.16-200.fc26.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Jan 31 19:34:52 UTC 2018 x86_64 Boilerplate: All mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
