NO bootlog messages in /var/log/boot


hi

I've enabled BOOTLOGD_ENABLE=Yes in /etc/default/bootlogd on my Squeeze (Upgrade from Lenny) installed on the notebook, but after Retsrat NO bootlog messages in /var/log/boot.

Is it a BUG?

Yep.

/sbin/logd is not started since Gutsy, leading to an empty /var/log/boot file

this is a setting in /etc/default/bootlogd, and the reason this has been disabled is that it caused several other processes to crash unexpectedly
Probably the same reason in debian.
Strangely, I'm unable to locate any discussion about this.
