question about logging kernel problems when kernel blows up

Hi Scott,

By default, you can check the dmesg output by entering 'dmesg' on the
console. This will show the boot process. You can also write the output to a
file (since it's too much information for 1 screen) using 'dmesg > file'.

Also, look in /var/log/messages.

By the way, what problem do you have with your kernel?
