Description of problem: /var/log/boot.log is empty (zero length) in F15. First noted in bug #654762 comment #5 (so plymouth-0.8.4-0.20101119.2.fc15.x86_64 or before). Recently tested with the kde-x86_64-20110305.01.iso nightly i.e. plymouth-0.8.4-0.20110209.2.fc15.x86_64 Note: According to bug #654762 comment #6, at one point /var/log/boot.log appeared to be empty but was in fact 3 bytes long.
This may be fixed in upstream hg [1]. Additionally, smem 1.0 has been 'released' [2], albeit as an hg tag [3] rather than as a tarball. [1] http://selenic.com/pipermail/smem/2011-February/000101.html [2] http://selenic.com/pipermail/smem/2011-February/000103.html [3] http://selenic.com/repo/smem
Whoops, sorry. Wrong bug. In fact, this is fixed in current nightlies but I'm not sure which component is responsible for this.
No boot.log in kde-x86_64-20110315: plymouth-0.8.4-0.20110304.1.fc15.x86_64 systemd-20-1.fc15.x86_64 dracut-008-7.fc15.x86_64 Non-empty boot.log in : plymouth-0.8.4-0.20110304.1.fc15.x86_64 systemd-25-1.fc15.x86_64 dracut-009-6.fc15.x86_64 Dracut changelog mentions logging so I'm going to credit dracut with this.
