Perhaps he meant the thread beginning at

My boot log looks like this:
[root@mavis log]# pwd
/var/log
[root@mavis log]# ls -l | grep boot
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Nov 1 04:02 boot.log
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Oct 25 04:02 boot.log.1
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Oct 18 04:02 boot.log.2
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Oct 11 04:02 boot.log.3
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Oct 4 04:02 boot.log.4
[root@mavis log]#
The zero length most like indicates that there are no entries :-; yet
we can see that the machine has been rebooted:
[root@mavis log]# grep boot messages*
messages.2:Oct 22 11:39:13 mavis shutdown[26207]: shutting down
for system reboot
messages.4:Oct 5 16:17:33 mavis shutdown[19739]: shutting down
for system reboot
messages.4:Oct 5 16:27:07 mavis shutdown[4979]: shutting down
for system reboot
messages.4:Oct 5 16:33:25 mavis shutdown[4738]: shutting down
for system reboot
messages.4:Oct 10 15:01:46 mavis shutdown[11680]: shutting down
for system reboot
[root@mavis log]#
Frankly, I can do very well without have boot.log at all but it seems
that if we have it, it really should work!
Mounting an old CentOS-4 disk, we see that it worked in CentOS 4:
[root@mavis log]# pwd
/old-sys/var/log
[root@mavis log]# ls -l | grep boot
-rw------- 1 root root 107353 May 21 2007 boot.log
-rw------- 1 root root 8867 May 20 2007 boot.log.1
-rw------- 1 root root 17265 May 13 2007 boot.log.2
-rw------- 1 root root 2224 May 6 2007 boot.log.3
-rw------- 1 root root 105 Apr 29 2007 boot.log.4
[root@mavis log]#
It's interesting to note that my current /etc/syslog.conf and the one
in the older version both contain the entry:
# Save boot messages also to boot.log
local7.* /var/log/boot.log
Beyond ferreting out those details, I am LOST.
