Hi, I do indeed refer to /var/log/boot.log Prior to upgrading to FC4 from FC3 all my startup and shutdown messages appeared so it was easy to see where problems had occured. Now nothing appear sat all. I have read somewhere that boot.log messages have been removed to be replaced by something 'better'. This is not very helpful right now and there is no indication of when the 'something better' is coming along. Is there anyway to get these messages working again or am I stuck until Redhat release the 'something better' ? Thanks Rob >>> fc-cornette@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx 03 July 2005 07:32:06 >>> Christopher K.

The boot.log and boot.log.3 are empty. Boot.log.1 has a few messages from the 19th and boot.log.2 from the 17th.
