sosreport doesn't capture "dmesg" output
Last modified: 2009-09-02 03:30:03 EDT
Description of problem: sosreport does not capture the output of "dmesg" at the time of running the sosreport command. Comparatively, the older commmand sysreport does capture this output. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): sos-1.7-9.2.el5-noarch How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. run sosreport 2. unpack archive 3. look for the "dmesg" file Actual results: not found Expected results: found in the root folder Additional info: I ran a find in a recently received sosreport, and these are the files containing "dmesg" in the filename: $ find . -name "*dmesg*" ./var/log/dmesg ./sos_commands/memory/dmesg_grep_-e_e820._-e_aperature ./sos_commands/hardware/dmesg_.bin.grep_-e_e820._-e_agp ./sos_commands/hardware/dmesg_.bin.egrep_8139cp_aacraid_acenic_ahci_aic79xx_aic7xxx_aic9 ./sos_commands/x11/dmesg_grep_-e_agpgart /var/log/dmesg is not the file I am looking for, as /var/log/dmesg is created at boot and once klogd starts, nothing more is added to this file.
