Description of problem: system-logviewer does not show all dmesg messages. The last 20 lines of messages displayed by dmesg do not show up in the Kernel Startup Log section of system-logviewer. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Log Viewer 0.9.11 Copyright (c) 2002-2004 Red Hat, Inc. Copyright (c) 2002-2004 Tammy Fox <tfox> How reproducible: Every time. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run system-logviewer and look at Kernel Startup Log 2. Compare to output from dmesg command. 3. Note that dmesg shows 20 more messages.
Kernel Startup log is the file /var/log/dmesg, it is not the dmesg buffer. This is not a bug but a potential RFE, changing description and severity.
