The last messages in my boot.log are
sshd: sshd -TERM succeeded
sshd: succeeded
xinetd: xinetd -HUP succeeded
I saw somewhere on google groups that someone mentioned that boot
logs are now written to anaconda.log but surely that can't be the
case !!
Nope. All my /var/log/anaconda.* are dated the date of my FC4 install.
My FC4 system is an upgrade from FC3 - it's also a remote system
so I really would like the boot log working !!

I am concerned because boot.log is a valuable source of
information, and since upgrading to FC4 it hasn't been
updated,
despite a fair few reboots while configuring the system
etc.... I
was wondering if I've removed some rpm package that was
needed to
facilitate the writing of boot.log whilst purging my system
of
unneeded packages ??
I read this log on occasion also. It quit working on my
systemand I
assumed the same thing. Anomther person who upgraded from FC3
to FC4
mentioned the same problem with no more boot logs.
I checked, out of curiosity, as I have a fresh FC4 install.
/var/log/boot.log contains only messages about
/sbin/dhclient-script
updating /etc/resolv.conf. Otherwise, it's empty.
Messages regarding dhclient are also all that I see in the
boot.log. I
didn't mention the /sbin/dhclient messages because I ran dhclient
to try
to get my stock kernel to get my network running. It is useful
information to know that at least the log is useful to resolve
ethernet
connection problems? My Installation is an upgrade, so I guess
the
problem is not unique to upgrades vs. fresh installations.
